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.
Privacy of communications may not be
ensured when using this device.
CAUTION:
Any changes or modifications not

NOTE:
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

outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an
experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
Some devices operate at frequencies
that may cause interference to nearby
TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent
such interference, this device should
not be placed near or on top of a TV or
VCR. If interference is experienced,
move this device further away from the
TV or VCR. This will often reduce or
eliminate interference.
