that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
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 help. 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 regulations.

l’équipement, vous êtes invités à les supprimer de plusieurs manières: 1) Réorienter ou déplacer l’antenne de réception; 2) Augmenter la distance
séparant l’équipement et le récepteur; 3) Connecter l’équipement à un circuit différent de celui auquel le récepteur est connecté;

4) Contacter votre revendeur ou un technicien radio/TV qualifié. Toutes modifications ou tous changements effectués sans l’accord exprès de la
partie responsable de la conformité aux normes pourraient contraindre l’utilisateur à ne plus utiliser son équipement. Afin d’assurer la conformité
avec les règlements FCC, les câbles d’interface blindés fournis avec le produit doivent être utilisés, ainsi que tout autres composants ou accessoires
également spécifiés, lors de l’installation du produit.
