STATEMENT

Warning: Thiis equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, that is, in
strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, may cause interference to radio and television reception. It has
been type tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B computing device in accordance with the specifiu-
tions in Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such inter-
ference in a I'esidential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular in-
stallation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turn-
ing the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures: reclrient the receiving antenna; relocate the computer with respect to the receiver; move the computer away
from the rec.liver; plug the computer into a different branch circuit. If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or
authorized field service representative for additional suggestions. The user may find the following booklet prepared by
the Federal (~ommDnications Commission helpful: "How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems". This
booklet is aV:lilable from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. Stock No. 004-000-00345-4.
