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.

• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is 

connected.

• The enclosed interface cable should be used in order to ensure compliance with the limits for a 

Class B digital device.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
