Unpacking and Inspection

After unpacking the LXP-5, save all packing materials in case you ever need to ship the unit.
Thoroughly inspect the LXP-5 and packing materials for signs of damage. Report any shipment
damage to the carrier at once; report equipment malfunction to your dealer.

This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and used
properly, that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, may cause interfer-
ence to radio and television reception. It has been type tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class A computing device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart J of Part 15
of FCC Rules, which are designated to provide reasonable protection against such interference
in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in
a particular installation. If this equipment does cause 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 the receiving antenna
Relocate the computer with respect to the receiver
Move the computer away from the receiver
Plug the computer into a different outlet so that the computer and receiver are on
different branch circuits.

If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician
for additional suggestions. The user may find the following booklet prepared by the Federal
Communications Commission helpful:

"How to identify and Resolve Radio/TV Interference Problems."

This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402,
