WARNING

1.1 FCC Statement

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. 
Operation is 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. 
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.

Caution: 

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the 
party responsible for compliance could void the user's 
authority to operate the equipment.
