The installer must ensure that this control and its wiring are 

isolated and/or shielded from strong sources of electromagnetic 

noise. Conversely, this Class B digital apparatus complies 

with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and meets all requirements of 

the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations. 

However, if this control does cause harmful interference to 

radio or television reception, which is determined by turning 

the control off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct 

the interference by re-orientating or relocating the receiving 

antenna, relocating the receiver with respect to this control, 

and/or connecting the control to a different circuit from that 

to which the receiver is connected.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B respecte toutes les exi-

gences du Règlement sur le matériel brouilleur du Canada.
