RCA Information
(North America)
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 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.
