§ 15.706   Information to the user.

   (a) In addition to the labeling requirements contained in § 15.19, the
   instructions furnished to the user of a TVBD shall include the
   following statement, placed in a prominent location in the text of the
   manual:

   This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the rules for
   TV bands devices, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These rules are
   designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference.
   This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
   and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
   cause harmful interference to radio communications. If this equipment
   does cause harmful 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 or more of the
   following measures:

   (1) Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

   (2) Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

   (3) Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
   that to which the receiver is connected.

   (4) Consult the manufacturer, dealer or an experienced radio/TV
   technician for help.

   (b) In cases where the manual is provided only in a form other than
   paper, such as on a computer disk or over the Internet, the information
   required by this section may be included in the manual in that
   alternative form, provided the user can reasonably be expected to have
   the capability to access information in that form.
