FCC 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.

This device generates and uses radio frequency (RF) energy, and if not installed and used properly, this equipment
may cause interference to radio and television reception.
If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception (which you can determine by unplugging
the unit), try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Re-orient the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for the radio or television that is “receiving” the
interference).
• Move the unit away from the equipment that is receiving interference.
• Plug the unit into a different wall outlet so that the unit and the equipment receiving interference are on
different branch circuits.
If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer or an experienced radio/television
technician for additional suggestions. Also, the Federal Communications Commission has prepared a helpful booklet,
“How To Identify and Resolve Radio TV Interference Problems.” This booklet is available from the U.S. Government

For Your Safety
The AC power plug is polarized (one blade is wider than the other) and only fits into AC power
outlets one way. If the plug won’t go into the outlet completely, turn the plug over and try to insert
it the other way. If it still won’t fit, contact a qualified electrician to change the outlet, or use a
different one. Do not attempt to bypass this safety feature.
CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY
INSERT.
