Returning your warranty card also places you on Timewave’s catalog mailing list. FCC Regulations This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. These rules are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This device 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, these is no guarantee that interference will not occur in particular installation. If this device does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the device on and off, 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 device and receiver. • Connect the device 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 help. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer will void the user’s authority to operate the device. You must use shielded cables for all device connections, then tie all grounding wires/shields to a single point, normally the radio. You need an effective station ground or you’ll have problems when RFI infiltrates your equipment and causes all kinds of unexpected problems.
