If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television 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 (that is, the antenna for radio or television that is  
“receiving” the interference).  
• Reorient or relocate and increase the separation between the telecommunications  
equipment and receiving antenna.  
• Connect the telecommunications equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that  
to which the receiving antenna is connected.  
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 Printing
