by removing and applying power to the equipment, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the

following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving satellite dish antenna.

®

Receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the DIRECTV

®

Radio and TV Interference Problems.” This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC. To meet FCC

requirements, only peripherals (computer input/output devices, terminals, printers, etc.) certified to comply with Class B limits may be

attached to this device. Operation with non-certified peripherals is likely to result in interference to radio and TV reception. To meet FCC

requirements, shielded cables are required to connect the device to a personal computer, peripheral, or other Class B certified device.
