INFORMATION TO THE DIGITAL DEVICE USER REQUIRED
BY THE FCC

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 generate 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 the
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.

•

Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.

•

Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.

•

Consult the dealer for technical assistance.

FCC WARNING

This equipment generates or uses radio frequency energy.
Changes or modifications to this equipment may cause harmful
interference unless the modifications are expressly approved in
the instruction manual.  The user could lose the authority to
operate this equipment if an unauthorized change or modification
is made.
