Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with 

the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the 

FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable 

protection against harmful interference in a residential instal-

lation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio 

frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance 

with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio 

communications. However, there is no guarantee that interfer-

ence will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment 

does 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:

  Reorient or relocate 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 Panasonic Service Center or an experienced 

radio/TV technician for help.

Warning

To assure continued compliance, use only shielded interface 

cables when connecting to a computer or peripheral.  Also, any 

changes or modi

fi

 cations not expressly approved by the party 

responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to 

operate this equipment.
