the following measures:
• Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with FCC Part 15. 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 c ause undesired operation.
