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

against harmful interference in an appropriate installation. This equipment generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not used in accordance with instructions, can cause
harmful radiation to radio communication. However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If the equipment does cause harmful interference in radio
and television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off, the user
