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:     
 

1.  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. 

2.  Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. 

3.  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that 

to which the receiver is connected. 

4.  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio technician for help. 

 

FCC Caution

 

 

This device and its antenna must not be co-located or operating in

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. 
 
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
