Important Information
FCC Regulations state that unauthorized changes or
modifications to this equipment may void the user’s
authority to operate it.
FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION INFORMATION
This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of 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 and
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
• 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.
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. Government
Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. Please
specify stock number 004-000-00345-4 when
ordering copies.
