interference by one or more of the following measures:

-

REORIENT OR RELOCATE THE RECEIVING ANTENNA

-

INCREASE THE SEPARATION BETWEEN THE EQUIPMENT AND THE RECEIVER

-

CONNECT THE EQUIPMENT INTO AN OUTLET ON A CIRCUIT DIFFERENT FROM

THAT OF THE RECEIVER

-

CONSULT THE DEALER OR AN EXPERIENCED AUDIO/TELEVISION TECHNICIAN

NOTE:

Connecting this device to peripheral devices that do not comply with Class B

requirements, or using an unshielded peripheral data cable, could also result in

harmful interference to radio or television reception.

The user is cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved

by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate

this equipment.

To ensure that the use of this product does not contribute to interference, it is

necessary to use shielded I/O cables.
