RCA Information

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. This product complies with DHHS Rules 21 CFR Subchapter J. Applicable at the date of manufacture. This equipment has been type tested and found to comply with the specifications in Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules. These rules are designed to provide reasonable protection against radio and television interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in particular installations. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception (which you can determine by turning the equipment off and on), try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient 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 004-00000345-4 when ordering copies.
