THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

Your receiver might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating properly. To determine whether your receiver is causing the interference, turn it off. If the interference goes away, your receiver is causing it.

If you cannot eliminate the interfer- ence, the FCC requires that you stop using your receiver. Changes or modi- fications not expressly approved by RadioShack could void the user’s FCC authorization to operate this equipment.
