This controller generates radio frequency energy and may cause interference to radio and television
reception. It has been type tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B computing device in
accordance with the specifications in Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide
reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guar-
antee 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:

1. Reorient the receiving antenna.
2. Move the controller away from the receiver.
3. Plug the controller into a different outlet so that the controller and receiver are on different branch

circuits.

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

“How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems.”
