However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment o 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 di erent from that to which the receiver is connected.– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help e available scienti c evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices.  ere is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health e ects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not produce heating e ects causes no known adverse health e ects. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not found any biological e ects. Some studies have suggested that some biological e ects might occur, but such  ndings have not been con rmed by additional research. e Personand found uncontrolleGuidelinesPlease refer is deviceother antento modify tdevice coul is deviceto the follointerferencincluding i e suppliecomply witFCC RulesCOM-2.US.3-213-854-11(1)2COM-2.US
