Manual Statement
WARNING: This equipment has been certified to comply with the limits for a Class B comput-
ing device, pursuant to subpart J of Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commissions
rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against radio and television inter-
ference in a residential installation.
If
not installed properly, in strict accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions, it may cause interference. If you suspect interference, you can test
this equipment by turning it off and on.
If
this equipment does cause interference, correct it by
doing any of the following:
• Reorient the receiving antenna or AC plug.
• Change the relative positions of the computer and the receiver.
• Plug the computer into a different outlet so that the computer and receiver are on
different circuits.
CAUTION: Only peripherals with shield-grounded cables (computer input-output devices, ter-
minals, printers, etc.), certified to comply with Class B limits, can be attached to this device.
Operation with non-certified equipment may result in communications interference.
Your house AC wall receptacle must be a three-pronged type (AC ground).
If
not, contact an
electrician to install the proper receptacle.
If
a multi-connector box is used to connect the
computer and peripherals to AC, the ground must be common to all units.
If
necessary, contact your dealer or an experienced radio-television technician for additional
suggestions. You may find the following FCC booklet helpful: "How to Identify and Resolve
Radio-TV Interference Problems." The booklet is available from the U.S. Government Print-
ing Office, Washington, DC 20402, stock no. 004-000-00345-4.
