Radio and television interference

The equipment described in this manual generates, uses and can radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed and used properly-that is, in strict accordance with LandWare's instruc­tions-it may cause interference with radio and television reception.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in Part 15 of FCC rules. These specifications are designed
to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. You can deter­mine whether your computer system is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the computer or one of the peripheral devices. If your com­puter system does cause interference to radio or television reception, 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 the Keyboard to one side or the other of the television or radio.

• Move the Keyboard farther away from the television or radio

If necessary, consult a LandWare authorized service provider or LandWare Inc. See the service and support information that came with your LandWare product. Or, consult an experienced
radio/television technician for additional suggestions. You may find the following booklet helpful: Interference Handbook (stock number 004-000-00493-1). This booklet, prepared by the
Federal Communications Commission, is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402.
