RADIO AND TELEVISION INTERFERENCE

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 occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio and 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

the receiver.

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different

from that to which the receiver is connected.

- Consult an authorized VideoLogic dealer or service

representative for help.

Properly shielded and grounded cables and connectors
must be used in order to meet FCC emission limits. Proper
cables and connectors are available from authorized
dealers. VideoLogic is not responsible for any radio or
television interference caused by using other than
recommended cables and connectors or by unauthorized
changes or modifications to this equipment. Unauthorized
changes or modifications could void the user’s authority
to operate the equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EUROPE)

directive on EMC (Directive 89/336/EEC). Please contact
