WARNING:
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 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:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment

and receiver.

- Connect the equipment 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.
