FCC Information

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.

In accordance with FCC requirements,
changes or modifications not expressly
approved by Thomson Inc. could void the
user’s authority to operate this product.

This device generates and uses radio
frequency (RF) energy, and if not installed
and used properly, this equipment may
cause interference to radio and
television reception.

If this equipment does cause interference to
radio or television reception (which you can
determine by unplugging the unit), try to
correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:

• Re-orient the receiving antenna (that is,
the antenna for the radio or television
that is "receiving" the interference).

• Move the unit away from the equipment
that is receiving interference.

• Plug the unit into a different wall outlet
so that the unit and the equipment
receiving interference are on different
branch circuits.

If these measures do not eliminate the
interference, please consult your dealer or
an experienced radio/television technician
for additional suggestions. Also, the Federal
Communications Commission has prepared a
helpful booklet, "How To Identify and
Resolve Radio TV Interference Problems."
This booklet is available from the U.S.
