In Case of Interference

In normal operation, your SAMSUNG fax machine produces and uses radio-frequency energy. In some cases, this can cause interference to other electronic equipment. Part 15 of the FCC rules establishes guidelines limiting the amount of radio-frequency energy which may be produced by electronic equipment. Tests have proven that your Samsung FAX machine meets or exceeds these guidelines, and is classified a “Class B Digital Device” for operation in a residential environment. When installed and operated according to instructions, your SAMSUNG fax machine should not cause interference to the types of equipment expected to be found in a normal residential environment.

Unauthorized changes or modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

In the event your SAMSUNG fax machine appears to cause interference to other electronic equipment, it can often be easily remedied. First determine if the source of interference really is your FAX machine. To do this, turn its power off and on while observing the equipment experiencing the interference. If the interference disappears when you turn the FAX machine off, the following steps can be very effective in correcting interference problems:

Connect the FAX machine to an AC outlet which is on a different circuit breaker from the equipment experiencing interference.

Increase the distance between the FAX machine and the equipment experiencing interference.

Cable TV amplifiers and splitters are extremely prone to interference. Be certain that they are as far as possible from the FAX machine and its AC power and tele- phone cords.

Replace “twin lead” antenna wire with shielded coaxial cable, and use proper connectors and adaptors.

Turn or relocate the receiving antenna. In most cases this is easily done by sim- ply moving a radio. A TV antenna may need to be re-oriented or installed in another area of the building.

Consult your dealer, a reputable radio/TV technician, or an Amateur Radio Operator for help.
