Keep the devices as far from such equipment as possible. • The presence of lighting equipment may produce electrical interference over a wide frequency range. In this case, interference may fluctuate with the position of the tuner antenna and position of the transmitter. Position the devices so that interference is minimized. • To avoid degradation of the signal to noise ratio, do not use UWP-D devices in noisy places or in locations subject to vibration, such as the following: – Near electrical equipment, such as motors, transformers, or dimmers – Near air conditioning equipment or places subject to direct air flow from an air conditioner – Near PA (public address) loudspeakers – Near equipment that might knock against the tuner Keep devices as far from such equipment as possible or use buffering material. Cleaning Clean the surface and the connectors of devices with a dry, soft cloth. Never use thinners, benzene, alcohol, or any other chemicals, since these may mar the finish. To prevent electromagnetic interference Some channels may be unable to be used due to noise generated due to the effects of external noise and/or radio interference. In this case, it is recommended to stop transmitting (turn the power off) or change to another frequency (change channel). To prevent electromagnetic interference from portable communication devices The use of portable telephones and other communication devices near the devices may result in malfunction and interference with audio signals.
