Radio and television
The equipment described in this manual generates and uses radio-frequency
interference energy. If it is not installed and used properly-that is, in strict accordance with
Apple's instructions-it may cause interference with radio and television
reception.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in Part 15 of FCC
rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against
such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee
that the interference will not occur in a particular installation.
You can determine whether your computer system is causing interference by
turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the computer
or one of the peripheral devices.
If your computer system does cause interference to radio or television reception,
try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:
• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
• Move the computer to one side or the other of the television or radio.
• Move the computer farther away from the television or radio.
• Plug the computer into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the -
television or radio. (That is, make certain the computer and the television or
radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)
If necessary, consult your authorized Apple dealer or an experienced
radio/television technician for additional suggestions. You may find helpful the
following booklet, prepared by the Federal Communications Commission:
Interference Handbook (stock number 004-000-00345-4). This booklet is
available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402.
~ Important: Changes or modifications to this product not authorized by Apple ...
Computer, Inc., could void the FCC certification and negate your authority to
operate the product.
This product was tested for FCC compliance under conditions that included
the use of shielded cables and connectors between system components. It is
important that you use shielded cables and connectors to reduce the possibility
of causing interference to radios, television sets, and other electronic devices.
For Apple peripheral devices, you can obtain the proper shielded cables from
your authorized Apple dealer. For non-Apple peripheral devices, contact the
manufacturer or dealer for assistance. ...::.
