FCC Statement (Part
15) - Radio Frequency
Interference
The Ambient Level Controller generates and uses radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, may cause interference to radio and television reception. Testing is being
conducted for compliance with the limits for a Class B
device in accordance with the specifications in Part
15 of
the FCC Rules. This testing is designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the Ambient Level Controller unit off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient the radio or TV receiving antenna.
- Relocate the Ambient Level Controller unit with respect
to the radio or TV receiver or vice-versa.
- Plug the Ambient Level Controller unit into a different
outlet so that it and the radio or TV receiver are on different branch circuits.
