• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
The use of a shielded-type power cord is required in order to meet FCC emission limits and
to prevent interference to the nearby radio and television reception. It is essential that only
the supplied power cord be used. Use only shielded cables to connect I/O devices to this
equipment. You are cautioned that changes or modications not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void your authority to operate the equipment.
