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.

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
