The limits are designed toprovide reasonable protection against harmful interfer-ence in a residential installation. This equipment gener-ates, uses and can radiate radio-frequency energy and,if not installed and used in accordance with theinstructions, may cause harmful interference to radiocommunication. However, there is no guarantee thatharmful interference will not occur in a particular instal-lation. If this equipment does cause harmful interfer-ence to radio or television reception, which can bedetermined by turning the equipment off and on, theuser is encouraged to try to correct the interferenceby one or more of the following measures:n Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.n Increase the separation between the equipmentand receiver.n Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuitdifferent from that to which the receiver is connected.n Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TVtechnician for help.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 interference received,including interference that may cause undesiredoperation.NOTE: Changes or modifications may cause thisunit to fail to comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rulesand may void the user’s authority to operate theequipment.UnpackingThe carton and shipping materials used to protect yournew receiver during shipment were specially designedto cushion it from shock and vibration. We suggestthat you save the carton and packing materials foruse in shipping if you move, or should the unit everneed repair.To minimize the size of the carton in storage, you maywish to flatten it. This is done by carefully slitting thetape seams on the bottom and collapsing the carton.Other cardboard inserts may be stored in the samemanner.
