These drives are intended to be contained solely within a personal computer or similar enclosure (not attached as
an external device). As such, each drive is considered to be a subassembly even when it is individually marketed
to the customer. As a subassembly, no Federal Communications Commission verification or certification of the
device is required.

Radio and television interference.

encouraged to try one or more of the following corrective measures:
• Reorient the receiving antenna.
• Move the device to one side or the other of the radio or TV.
• Move the device farther away from the radio or TV.
• Plug the computer into a different outlet so that the receiver and computer are on different branch outlets.
If necessary, users should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional
suggestions. Users may find helpful the following booklet prepared by the Federal Communications Commission:
