not occur in a particular installation. If this

to radio or television reception, which can 
be determined by turning the equipment off 
and on, the user is encouraged to try and 
correct the interference by one or more of 
the following measures:

 

Reorient  or  relocate  the  receiving  an-
tenna.

 

Increase  the  separation  between  the 
equipment and receiver.

 

Connect  the  equipment  into  an  outlet 
on a circuit different from that to which
