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 004-000-00345-4 when ordering copies.

than the other) and only fits

way. If the plug won’ t go into the outlet completely ,
turn the plug over and try to insert it the other way.
If it still won’t fit, contact a qualified electrician to
change the outlet, or use a different one. Do not
attempt to bypass this safety feature.
CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK,
MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE
SLOT , FULLY INSERT.
