communication may be the result if it‘s not properly installed and used. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
does cause serious interference to radio or television reception, resetting may correct it.
Moreover, users are encouraged to reduce interference by doing one or more of the following:

 Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
 Move the

LED LCD Monitor

 Connect the

LED LCD Monitor

and the receiver further away from each other.

into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.

 Consult your local dealer or a qualified technician.

FCC Warning:

To assure a continued FCC compliance, a user must use a grounded power supply cord and the
provided shielded video interface cable with bonded ferrite cores. Also, any unauthorized
changes or modifications to this
