Federal Communications Commission Radio Fre-

quency Interference Statement

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to com-

ply 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 interfer-

ence in a residential installation. This equipment gener-

ates, 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 recep-

tion, 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 differ-

ent from that to which the receiver is connected.

Consult the Panasonic Service Center or an experi-

enced radio/TV technician for help.

Warning

To assure continued compliance, use only shielded inter-
face cables when connecting to a computer or peripheral.  
Also, any changes or modifications not expressly 
approved by the party responsible for compliance could 
void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
