However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or tele-

vision reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try and correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

Connect the equipment into an outlet or on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. To ensure safety of users, the FCC has established criteria for the amount of radio frequency energy that can be safely absorbed by a user or bystander according to the intended usage of the product.
