SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Radio and Television Interference

The equipment described in this manual generates and uses radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed and used
properly —that is, in strict accordance with our instructions— it may cause interference with radio and television
reception.

This equipment has been tested and complies with the limits for a Class B computing device in accordance with the
specifications in Subpart J of Part 15 of the FCC rules. These rules are designed to provide reasonable protection
against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that the interference will not
occur in a particular installation, especially if a “rabbit ear” TV antenna is used.

If PARIS does cause interference to radio or television reception, you can try to correct the interference by using one
or more of the following measures:

•

Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.

Move PARIS to one side or the other of the television or radio.

•

Move PARIS farther away from the television or radio.

•

•

Plug PARIS into an outlet on a different circuit than the television or radio.

•

Consider installing a rooftop antenna with a coaxial lead-in between the antenna and television set.

Si le PARIS occasionne des interférences , vous pouvez essayer de les corriger en utilisant une ou plusieurs des
mesures suivantes:

• Tournez l’antenne de la télé ou de la radio jusqu’à ce que les interférences disparaissent.

• Déplacez le PARIS d’un côté ou de l’autre de la télé ou de la radio.

• Eloignez le PARIS de la télé ou de la radio.

• Branchez le PARIS sur une prise différente que la télé ou la radio.

• Installez une antenne sur le toit munie d’une connexion coaxiale entre elle et le poste de télévision.
