cause harmful interference to radio or television 
reception, which can be determined by turning the 
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to 

correct the interference by one or more of the following 
measures: 
 - Adjust the receiving antenna 
 - Increase the separation between the equipment and 
receiver 

 - Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit 
different from that to which the receiver is connected 
 - Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician 
for assistance
