to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
l
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna

It is the responsibility of the user to obtain and use a shielded equipment interface cable with this device. If this equipment has more than one interface connector, do not leave cables connected to unused interfaces.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
