FCC Information
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 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.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult your local RadioShack store or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop
using your radio. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance 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.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into
the outlet, try reversing the plug. If you still are unable to insert the
plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
9. POWER-CORD PROTECTION — Protect the power cord from being
walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles,

13. POWER LINES — An outside antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits,
or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an
outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from
touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
14. LIGHTNING — Unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna or cable system during lightning storms or when unused for
long periods of time.
15. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY — Never push objects or any kind into
this product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or shortout parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
16. CARTS AND STANDS — Exercise caution when moving any product
and cart combination. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

) aluminum,
No.17 AWG (1.0 mm
2
) copperclad steel or bronze wire, or larger, as a
ground wire.
b Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to the house with stand-off
insulators spaced from 4 - 6 feet (1.22 - 1.83 m) apart.
c Mount the antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where the
lead-in enters the house.
d Use a jumper wire not smaller than No. 6 AWG (13.3 mm
2
) copper, or
the equivalent, when a separate antenna-grounding electrode is used.
