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

harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment

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.

Any unauthorized changes or modifications to this
equipment would void the user’s authority to operate
this device.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference received, includ­ing interference that may cause undesired operation.
