           FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION RADIO
               FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENT


"w ARNING:      This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions manual,
may cause interference to radio communications. It has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class A Computing device pursuant to Subpart] of
Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide protection against such
interference. Operation of the equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
interference in which case, the user will be required to take whatever measures may
be required to correct the interference."


               Manufacturer's Instructions and User's Responsibility
                    to Prevent Radio Frequency Interference

Manufacturer's Instructions
The user must observe the following precautions when installing and operating this
device:

     1. Operate the equipment in strict accordance with the manufacturer's
        instructions for the model.
     2. Ensure that the unit is plugged into a properly grounded wall outlet and
        that the power cord supplied with the unit is used and not modified.
     3. Ensure that the unit is always operated with the factory-installed cover set
        on the unit.
     4. Make no modifications to the equipment which would affect its meeting the
        specified limits of the Rules.
     5. Properly maintain the equipment in a satisfactory state of repair.

User's Responsibility
The user has the ultimate responsibility to correct problems arising from harmful
radio-frequency emissions from equipment under his control. If this equipment
does cause 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 of the following measures. All of these responsibilities and any
others not mentioned are exclusively at the expense of the user.



                                                                                       111
          1.   Change   in   orientation of the receiving device antenna.
          2.   Change   in   orientation of the equipment.
          3.   Change   in   location of equipment.
          4.   Change   in   equipment power source.

     If these attempts are unsuccessful, install one or all of the following devices:

          1. Line isolation transformers
          2. Line filters
          3. Electro-magnetic shielding

     If necessary, the user should consult the dealer, NEC, or an experienced radioltele-
     vision technician for additional suggestions. The user may find the following
     booklet prepared by the Federal Communications Commission to be helpful: "How
     to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems." This booklet is available
     from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402, Stock No.
     004-000-00345-4.

     "N ote: The operator of a computing device may be required to stop operating his
     device upon finding that the device is causing harmful interference and it is in the
     public interest to stop operation until the interference problem is corrected."
