ˎ

ˎ To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place 

objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the

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

the following measures:

ˎ

ˋ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

ˎ

ˋ Increase the separation between the equipment
