FCC Part 15
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
CAUTION:
Changes and modifications to this product not
expressly approved by InGrid, Inc. could void not only
the user’s authority to operate this device, but also the
limited warranty.
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 installation. 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, three is no guarantee
that interference 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:
o Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
o Reorient or relocate and increase the
separation between the equipment and
receiver
o Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that
may cause interference to nearby TVs or VCRs. To
minimize or prevent such interference, the base or the
cordless telephone should not be placed near or on top
of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, move
the cordless telephone further away from the TV or
VCR. This will often reduce, or eliminate, interference.
Consult an experienced radio/TV technician for help if
these measures do not eliminate the interference.
