Rules.

  

These

 

limits

 

are

 

designed

 

to

 

provide

 

reasonable

 

protection

 

against

 

harmful

 

interference

 

in

 

a

 

residential

 

environment.

  

This

 

equipment

 

generates,

 

uses,

 

and

 

can

 

radiate

 

radio

 

frequency

 

energy

 

and,

 

if

 

not

 

installed

 

and

 

used

 

in

 

accordance

 

with

 

the

 

instructions,

 

may

 

cause

 

harmful

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

 

of

 

the

 

following

 

measures:

 

 

Reorient

 

or

 

relocate

 

the

 

receiving

 

antenna.

 

 

Increase

 

the

 

separation

 

between

 

the
