FCC NOTICE
Radio and Television Interference
Rodgers Trillium organs use and generate small amounts of radio-frequency (RF) energy. The
instrument complies with the limits set for Class B computing devices. FCC Rules, Part 15,
Subpart J define the limits for radio and television interference in a residential installation.
Follow the installation and the use instruction in the manual, or the instrument could potentially
cause interference with some radio or television reception. In the unlikely event this occurs, we
encourage the user to try the following corrective measures:
!Turn the instrument OFF to see if it is the actual source of the interference.
!Disconnect the peripheral devices and their input/output cables one at a time. If the
interference stops, it is caused by the peripheral device or its I/O cable.
!Try coiling and uncoiling the instrument’s power cord in different ways.
!Connect the instrument’s power cord to a power outlet on a different circuit.
!Move the instrument further away from the radio or television receiver.
!Turn the radio or television receiver until the interference stops.
!Connect the radio or television receiver to a different power circuit.
!Reorient or move the receiver antenna further away from the instrument. Consider
installing a rooftop antenna with coaxial cable lead-in between the antenna and receiver.
!Consult the nearest Rodgers dealer for more information if the above corrective measures
don’t remove the interference.
