FCC Information

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 equip-

ment 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.

•  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from

that to which the receiver is connected.

•  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that

you stop using your FM Transmitter. Changes or modifications not

expressly approved by Ignition L. P. may cause interference and

void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation

is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may

not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept

any interference received, including interference that may cause

undesired operation.
