INFORMATION FOR THE USER

The user’s manual or instruction manual for an intentional or unintentional radiator shall caution the user that changes or
modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment

This device complies with part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a CLASS B digital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions contained in this data sheet, may
cause harmful interference to radio and television communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
* reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
* increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver

* connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that of the receiver

* consult the dealer or an experienced audio television technician.

Note: Connecting this device to peripheral devices that do not comply with CLASS B

requirements or using an unshielded peripheral data cable could also result in harmful interference
to radio or television reception. The user is cautioned that any changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate this equipment. To ensure that the use of this product does not contribute to interference, it
is necessary to use shielded I/O cables.
