This equipment has been tested and found to 

comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, 

pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits 

are designed to provide reasonable protection 

against harmful interference in a residential 

installation. This equipment generates, uses and 

can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not 

installed and used in accordance with the 

instructions, may cause harmful interference to 

radio communications. However, there is no 

guarantee that interference will not occur in a 

particular installation. 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.

– Increase the separation between the 

equipment and receiver.
