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

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
