NOTE: 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 in-
terference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in ac-
cordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio com-
munications. 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 interfer-
ence 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.

REMARQUE : cet équipement a été testé et jugé conforme aux limites d’un
appareil numérique de Classe B, en vertu de la Section 15 du règlement de
la FCC. Ces limites sont conçues pour offrir une protection jugée raisonnable
contre l’interférence nuisible dans une installation résidentielle. Cet équipe-
ment génère des utilisations et peut émettre une énergie radiofréquence et,
s’il n’est pas installé et utilisé conformément aux instructions, peut causer une
interférence nuisible aux radiocommunications. Toutefois, il n‘existe aucune
garantie qu’une interférence ne se produira pas dans une installation par-
ticulière. Si cet équipement cause une interférence nuisible à la réception
radiophonique ou télévisuelle, qu’on peut déterminer en ouvrant et en fer-
mant l’équipement, l’utilisateur est invité à essayer de corriger l’interférence à
l’aide d’une des mesures suivantes :
