off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures:

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.

This class B digital apparatus complies with the Canadian ICES-003.
Changes or modifications made to this equipment not expressly approved
by Sennheiser electronic Corp. may void the FCC authorization to operate
