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 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.
