❏Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected

exceed the limits established by the FCC for this equipment. It is the responsibility of the

user to obtain and use a shielded equipment interface cable with this device. If this

equipment has more than one interface connector, do not leave cables connected to unused

interfaces.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the
