Class B digital device
This equipment has been tested and found to com-
ply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pur-
suant 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 fre-
quency 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 televi-
sion 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 to an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is con-
nected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
Any changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system
installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the National
Electric Code (U.S.A.). The code provides guidelines for
proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the
cable ground shall be connected to the grounding sys-
tem of the building, as close to the point of the cable
entry as practical.
Do not attempt to modify this product in any way
without written authorization from LG Electronics.
Unauthorized modification could void the user's
authority to operate this product
