7. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as
recommended by the manufacturer.

8. Ventilation - The appliance should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with
its proper ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or sim­ilar surface that may block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a built-in installation, such as a book­case or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.

9. Heat - The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

10. Power-Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords and
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

11. Non-use Periods - The power cord of the appliance should be unplugged from the outlet when left
unused for a long period of time.

12. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled
into the enclosure through openings.

13. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance; or
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance;

or

E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.

14. Servicing - The user should not attempt to service the appliance beyond that described in the oper-

ating instructions. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.

This symbol is to alert you to important operating or servicing instructions that may appear in
your owner’s manual. When using your telephone equipment, always follow these basic safety
precautions in order to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons.

15. Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol clean­ers; use a damp cloth for cleaning. If the product comes in contact with any liquid, unplug the phone
line and the power adapter and let the unit dry thoroughly before plugging it back in.

16. This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label
or in the owner’s manual. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your
dealer or local power company.

Safety Information (cont’d)

17. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this can result in the risk of fire or electric
shock.

18. Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots, as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short out parts, resulting in the risk of fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of
any kind on the product.

19. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product, but take it to a qualified ser­viceman when service or repair work is required. Opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when this product
is subsequently used.

20. Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions: a) when the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed; b) if liquid has
spilled into the product; c) if the product has been exposed to rain or water; d) if the product does
not operate normally when you follow the operating instructions (adjust only those controls that are
discussed in the owner’s manual, as improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage,
often requiring extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to normal perfor­mance); e) if the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged; f) if the product
exhibits a distinct change in performance.

21. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a
remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

22. Do not use a telephone in the vicinity of a gas leak. If you suspect a gas leak, report it immediately,
but use a telephone away from the area where gas is leaking. With a cordless phone, also make sure
that the phone base is away from the gas leak.

23. Grounding or Polarization - This product may be equipped with a polarized alternating current line
plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only
one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug still fails to fit, contact your electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.

The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified equipment. This certification

means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational, and
safety requirements. The department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s
satisfaction.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facili-

ties of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must be installed using an acceptable
method of connection. In some cases, the company’s inside wiring associated with a single line indi­vidual service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension
cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with the above condition may not prevent
degradation of service in some situations.

Repairs to some certified equipment should be made by an authorized maintenance facility designated

by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or any equipment
malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect
the equipment.

Users should ensure for their own protection that the ground connections of the power utility, tele-

phone lines, and internal metallic water pipe system are connected together. This precaution may
be important particularly in rural areas.

CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves but should contact the

appropriate electrical inspection authority or electrician as appropriate.

The RINGER EQUIVALENCE NUMBER (REN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the percent-

age of the total load to be connected to a telephone loop which is used by the device to prevent
overloading. The termination on a loop may consist of any combination of devices subject only to
the requirement that the total of the REN of all devices does not exceed five.

The REN for the MAT960 is 0.9B.

Canadian Ringer Equivalence Number Notice

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Statement
The Philips Magnavox MAT960 has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digi-

tal device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two condi­tions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

The FCC Class B 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. 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:

• 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 your point of purchase or service representative for additional suggestions.

The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or television interference caused by the use of

cables other than those recommended or by unauthorized changes or modifications to this equip­ment. Unauthorized changes or modifications could void the user’s authority to operate this equip­ment.

Federal Communications Commission Information

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the bottom of this equipment is a label

that contains, among other information, the FCC Registration Number and Ringer Equivalence
Number (REN) for this equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your tele­phone company. The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your
telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your telephone number is called. In
most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line should not
exceed five. To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line as determined
by the REN, you should contact your local telephone company to determine the maximum REN
for your calling area.

If your telephone equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may dis-

continue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance. But, if advance notice
is not practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will be informed of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC.

Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that

could affect the proper functioning of your equipment. If they do, you will be notified in advance to
give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted telephone service.

If you experience trouble with this telephone equipment, please contact Philips Consumer Electronics

Company repair facility at Philips Service Solutions Group, P.O. Box 555, Old Andrew Johnson
Highway, Jefferson City, TN 37760, for more information on obtaining service or repairs. The tele­phone company may ask that you disconnect this equipment from the network until the problem
has been corrected or until you are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning.

This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company. Connection to

party lines is subject to state tariffs.

This device is equipped with an RJ11 connector.

Arrow buttons on the remote. To activate a link, use
the Arrow buttons to highlight a link. Press the GO
button.

The indicator becomes a straight red line when:

◆ You receive a telephone call (if you have Call Waiting).

◆ You use the HANG UP option. (See ADVANCED OPTIONS on page 35.)

◆ To keep your phone line free, your Internet Terminal automatically

disconnects from the WebTV Network if you do not use the remote con­trol for several minutes. This keeps your phone line free, so you don’t
have to wonder if you are disconnected from the WebTV Network. To
reconnect, press the GO button.

Connections

Connecting your System

Before you can connect to the WebTV Network, you
must connect your Internet Terminal to each of the
following:

◆ Your TV (either directly or through your VCR)

◆ A telephone line

◆ And an AC power outlet.

The type of connection you choose depends on
whether your TV:

◆ Has S-VIDEO, RCA-type A/V (audio/video), or RFU
coaxial jacks

◆ Or is connected to a VCR.
An S-VIDEO connection provides the best picture
quality of all the connection options. For optimum
audio performance, consider integrating the Internet
Terminal into your home entertainment system.

Telephone Line Connection Options

If possible, connect your Internet Terminal to a tele­phone jack that isn’t connected to a telephone. If you
have only one telephone jack, use the T-splitter to
share the line. This will enable you to keep both the
Internet Terminal and your telephone plugged in at the
same time. Plug the T-splitter into the wall telephone
jack.
If you don’t have Call Waiting service for your phone
line, a person trying to call you while you’re connected
to WebTV gets a busy signal.
If you have Call Waiting, see Select Dialing Options on
page 31. If you activate Call Waiting and you receive a
telephone call, your Internet Terminal temporarily dis­connects from the WebTV Network. When this hap­pens, your telephone will ring, and you can take the
call the way you normally do. To reconnect to the
WebTV Network, press the GO button on the
remote. WebTV reconnects you to the page you were
visiting when the call came in.
For information on disconnecting from the WebTV
Network to make a telephone call, see Advanced
Options/Hang Up on page 35.
If the telephones in your house are generally busy, you
might consider using a separate, or dedicated, tele­phone line for the WebTV Network. Contact your
local phone company to order a separate phone line.

WHO IS COVERED?

You must have proof of purchase to receive warranty service. A sales
receipt or other document showing that you purchased the product is
considered proof of purchase.

WHAT IS COVERED?

Warranty coverage begins the day you purchase your product. For 90
days from the date of purchase, the Internet Terminal will be replaced
with a new, repaired, renewed or comparable product (whichever is
deemed necessary) if it becomes defective or inoperative. This
exchange is done without charge to you.

From 90 days to one year from the date of purchase, your Internet
Terminal will be replaced with a new, repaired, renewed, or compara­ble product (whichever is deemed necessary) if it becomes defective
or inoperative. You will be responsible for all labor costs. Contact
Philips Service Solutions Group at 1-888-813-7069 to obtain your cost
(labor costs) for exchange.

All products, including replacement products, are covered only for the
original warranty period. When the warranty on the original product
expires, the warranty on the replacement product also expires.

After one year from the date of purchase, you pay for the replacement
of all parts, and for all labor charges.

WHAT IS EXCLUDED?

Your warranty does not cover:

• labor charges for installation or setup of the product.

• installation, performance of, or repair of audio/video cabling, tele-

phone line, or accessory attachments used in accessory ports out­side of the product.

• product replacement because of misuse, accident, lightning damage,

unauthorized repair, or other cause not within the control of
Philips Consumer Electronics Company.

• incidental or consequential damages resulting from the product.

(Some states do not allow the exclusion of incidental or consequen­tial damages, so the above exclusion may not apply to you.)

• reception transmission problems caused by signal conditions, tele-

phone line, or cable or antenna systems outside the unit.

• a product that requires modification or adaptation to enable it to

operate in any country other than the country for which it was
designed, manufactured, approved and/or authorized, or repair of
products damaged by these modifications.

• a product used for commercial or institutional purposes.

Philips makes no warranty that the access connection will be a local
(not long distance) call, or that international dialing connection(s)
may be required for usage of the product outside the United States.
WebTV service is separate and distinct from this product (hard­ware) warranty.
