Your ri ghts
Some states or jurisdictions do not allow exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the

above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. Some states or jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how
long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific
rights, and you may have other rights which vary from state to state or by jurisdiction.

Outside the United States and Canada

In countries other than the United States and Canada, the terms and condi
different. Unless a specific Kodak warranty is communicated to the purchaser in writing by a Kodak company,
no warranty or liability exists beyond any minimum requirements imposed by law, even though defect, damage,
or loss may be by negligence or other act.

FCC compliance and advisory

This equipment has been tested and found to comply wit
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 or 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: 1) reorient or relocate the receiving antenna; 2) increase the separation between the
equipment and the receiver; 3) connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected; 4) consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for additional suggestions.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment. Where shielded interface cables have been provided with the
product or specified additional components or accessories elsewhere defined to be used with the installation of
the product, they must be used in order to ensure compliance with FCC regulation.
