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.

has prepared a helpful booklet, "How To
Identify and Resolve Radio TV Interference
Problems." This booklet is available from the U.S.
