RADIO AND TELEVISION INTERFERENCE

The equipment described in this manual generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed and used

properly—that is, in strict accordance with Wacom instructions—it may cause interference with radio and television reception.

FCC NOTICE

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of 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 to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not

occur in a particular installation.

You can determine whether the tablet is causing interference by powering it off. If the interference stops, it was probably

caused by the tablet.

If your tablet does cause interference to radio or television reception, you may be able to correct the interference by using one

or more of the following measures:

• Rotate the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.

• Move the tablet farther away from the television or radio.

• Plug the tablet and computer into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio.

If necessary, consult your Wacom dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for help.

Changes or modiﬁcations to this product not authorized by Wacom could void the FCC Certiﬁcation and negate your authority

to operate the product.
