does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the Label Maker 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.
• Increase the separation between the Label Maker and receiver.
• Connect the Label Maker 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 transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
