NFORMATION
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 can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio
or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna (that is, the
antenna for radio or television that is “receiving” the
interference).
• Reorient or relocate and increase the separation
between the telecommunications equipment and
receiving antenna.
• Connect the telecommunications equipment into an
outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiving antenna is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
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, D.C. 20402.
