Important information
FCC information
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.
In accordance with FCC requirements, changes or
modifications not expressly approved by
Thomson Inc. could void the user’s authority to
operate this product.
This device generates and uses radio frequency
(RF) energy, and if not installed and used
properly, this equipment may cause interference
to radio and television reception.
If this equipment does cause interference to
radio or television reception (which you can
determine by turning the equipment off and
on), try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
•
Reorient the receiving antenna (that is, the
antenna for the radio or television that is
"receiving" the interference).
•
Move the unit away from the equipment
that is receiving interference.
•
Plug the unit into a different wall outlet so
that the unit and the equipment receiving
interference are on different branch circuits.
If these measures do not eliminate the
interference, please consult your dealer or an
experienced radio/television technician for
additional suggestions.
