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, may cause harmful interference to
radio 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 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.
