One other thing that sometimes works for me: use your favorite search engine to search on the equipment's "FCC ID" number. This is usually found near the serial number, or next to the agency approval logos (CE, TUV, CSA et al). The only caveat is that if the device was not intended ever to be sold in North America, it may not have an FCC number.
