FCC Radio Frequency Interference Regulations

Warning: This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions contained in this manual, may cause harmful interference to radio and television communications. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. To ensure compliance with FCC rules, the cable that connects the unit to the computer must be a shielded interface cable.

Note: Connecting this device to peripheral devices that do not comply with Class B requirements or using an unshielded peripheral cable could result in interference to radio or television reception. To ensure that the use of this product does not contribute to interference, use a shielded interface cable.

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 may try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

•Move the device and the receiver further apart.

•Connect the equipment to an electrical outlet on a different circuit than the receiver.

•Consult the dealer or an experienced audio television technician.

Also, the following booklet may prove helpful: How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems. It is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402, stock number 004-000-00345-4.

The user is cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved by TEAC America, Inc. could void the user’s warranty.
