INTERFERENCE INFORMATION
□ □□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□
Like any electrical appliance, this Modem uses and produces radio
frequency energy. If it's not installed and used properly according
to the instructions in this guide, the equipment may cause inter¬
ference with your radio and television reception.
The Modem has been type tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B'computing device in accordance with the
specifications in Subpart J of Part 15 of the FCC rules. These rules
are designed to provide reasonable protection against such inter¬
ference when the equipment is used in a residential setting.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in
a particular home or residence.
Operation of noncertified peripherals with this modem is likely to
result in interference with radio and TV reception. Shielded cables
should be used on all I/O connectors; otherwise radio emissions
may exceed FCC Class B limits.
If you believe this equipment is causing interference with your
television reception, try turning the equipment off and on. If the
interference problem stops when the equipment is turned off, then
the equipment is probably causing the interference. With the'
equipment turned on, you may be able to correct the problem by
trying one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient the radio or television antenna.
• Reposition the equipment in relation to the radio or
television set.
• Move the equipment away from the radio or television.
• Plug the equipment into a different wall outlet so the equipment
and the radio or television are on different branch circuits.
If necessary, consult your ATARI Computer retailer or an experi¬
enced radio/television technician for .additional suggestions.
Another helpful resource is How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV
Interference Problems, a booklet prepared by the Federal
Communications Commission. This booklet is available from the
