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 reason-
able protection against harmful interference when the prod-
uct is operated in a residential installation. This product gen-
erates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference to radio commu-
nications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this product does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the product 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 product and
receiver.
Connect the product into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is con-
nected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
CAUTION concerning the Power Cord
Most appliances recommend they be placed upon a
dedicated circuit;
That is, a single outlet circuit which powers only that appli-
ance and has no additional outlets or branch circuits. Check
the specification page of this owner's manual to be certain.
Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose
or damaged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power
cords, or damaged or cracked wire insulation are danger-
ous. Any of these conditions could result in electric shock
or fire. Periodically examine the cord of your appliance, and
if its appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug
it, discontinue use of the appliance, and have the cord
replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized
service personnel.
Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse,
such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or
walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets,
and the point where the cord exits the appliance.
To disconnect power from the mains, pull out the mains cord
plug. When installing the product, ensure that the plug is
easily accessible.
