Texas Instruments makes no warranty, either expressed or implied,

including but not limited to any implied warranties of

merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, regarding any

programs or book materials and makes such materials available

solely on an "as-is" basis.

In no event shall Texas Instruments be liable to anyone for special,

collateral, incidental, or consequential damages in connection with

or arising out of the purchase or use of these materials, and the sole

and exclusive liability of Texas Instruments, regardless of the form

of action, shall not exceed the purchase price of this calculator.

Moreover, Texas Instruments shall not be liable for any claim of any

kind whatsoever against the use of these materials by any other

party.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits

for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against

harmful interference in a residential installation. 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 with radio communications. 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 off and on, you can 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/television technician

for help.

Caution: Any changes or modifications to this equipment not

expressly approved by Texas Instruments may void your authority to

operate the equipment.
