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

to the following conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interfer-

ence; and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including 

interference that may cause undesired operation.  

Warning: 

Changes or 

modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible 

for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

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 

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

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.
