following measures: 

− 

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. 

− 

Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver. 

− 

Connect the equipment onto 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. 

Shielded interconnect cables and a shielded AC power cable must be employed with 
this equipment to ensure compliance with the pertinent RF emission limits governing 
this device. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the system's manu-
facturer could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
