DTV Transition Advisory
The nationwide switch to digital television broadcasting was
complete on June 12, 2009. Analog-only television sets that
receive TV programming through an antenna now need a
converter box to continue to receive over-the-air TV. Watch your
local stations to find out when they will turn off their analog
signal and switch to digital-only broadcasting. Analog-only TVs
should continue to work as before to receive low power, Class
A or translator television stations and with cable and satellite
TV services, gaming consoles, VCRs, DVD players, and similar
products.

4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful

in order to comply with the emission limits.
3. The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV
interference caused by unauthorized modification to this
