It is important to read this instruction book prior to using your new product for the first time.

FCC Information

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 cause undesired operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and
radiates radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instruction, may
cause harmful interference to radio communica­tions. However, there is no guarantee that interfer­ence will not occur in a particular installation.

In accordance with FCC requirements, changes or
modifications not expressly approved by Thomson
Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate this
product.

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 copies.
This product complies with DHHS Rules 21 CFR
Subchapter J. Applicable at the date of
manufacture.

For Your Safety

The AC power plug is polarized (one blade is wider
than the other) and only fits into AC power outlets
one 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.

For Your Records

In the event that service
should be required, you may
need both the model number
and the serial number. In the
space below, record the date
and place of purchase, and
the serial number:
