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:  
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
Increase the separation between the equipment and  
receiver.  
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit  
different from that to which the receiver is connected.  
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV  
technician for help.
