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 of the
receiver.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or TV technician for help.
Notice: Only peripherals complying with FCC limits may be attached to this
equipment. Operation with noncompliant peripherals or peripherals not
recommended by Venstar, is likely to result in interference to radio and TV
reception. Changes or modifications to the product, not expressly approved by
Venstar could void the users authority to operate the equipment.
