If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception (which you can determine by turning the equipment off and on), try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

•Reorient the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for the radio or television that is "receiving" the interference).

•Move the unit away from the equipment that is receiving interference.

•Plug the unit into a different wall outlet so that the unit and the equipment receiving interference are on different branch circuits. If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions.

Also, the Federal Communications Commission has prepared a helpful booklet, "How To Identify and Resolve Radio TV Interference Problems." This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. Please specify stock number 004- 000-00345-4 when ordering copies.

For Your Safety

The AC power plug is polarized (one blade is wider than the other) and only fits into AC

power outlets one way. If the plug won’t go into the outlet

completely, turn the plug over

and try to insert it the other way. If it still won’t fit, contact a qualified electrician to change the outlet, or use a different one. Do not attempt to bypass this safety feature.

CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY INSERT.

Have a Blast-Just Not in your eardrums!
