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

In accordance with FCC requirements, changes

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
