following measures: reorient the receiving antenna; relocate the computer with respect to the receiver; 
move the computer away from the receiver; plug the computer into a different outlet so that computer and 
receiver are on different branch circuits.

additional suggestions. The user may find the following booklet prepared by the Federal Communications 
Commission helpful: “How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems”. This booklet is
