This phone number is for FCC-related matters only.
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the two following 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.
This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the 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. 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

FCC Part 68
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC
rules. The FCC Ringer Equivalence Number
(REN) for this equipment is 0.79 B. If requested,
this information must be provided to the telephone
company.
This modem uses the USOC RJ-11 telephone
jack.
The REN is used to determine the quantity of
devices which may be connected to the telephone
line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may
result in the devices not ringing in response to an
incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum
of the RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be
certain of the number of devices that may be
connected to the line, as determined by the total
RENs, contact the telephone company to
determine the maximum REN for the calling area.
If the terminal equipment causes harm to the
telephone network, the telephone company will
notify you in advance that temporary
discontinuance of service may be required. But if
advance notice is not practical, the telephone
company will notify the customer as soon as
possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to
file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is
necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in its
facilities, equipment, operations or procedures
that could affect the operations of the equipment.
If this happens, the telephone company will
provide advance notice in order for you to make
the necessary modifications in order to maintain
uninterrupted service.
If trouble is experienced with this modem, for
repair or warranty information, please contact 1888-4SONY-PC, or write to the Sony Customer
Information Center, 12451 Gateway Blvd., Fort
Myers, FL 33913. If the trouble is causing harm to
the telephone network, the telephone company
may request that you remove the equipment from
the network until the problem is resolved.
Repair of this equipment should be made only by
a Sony Service Center or Sony authorized agent.
For the Sony Service Center nearest you, call 1888-4SONY-PC (1-888-476-6972).
This equipment cannot be used on public coin
service provided by the telephone company.
Connection to Party Line Service is subject to
state and possible provincial tariffs. (Contact the
state or provincial utility service commission,
public service commission, or corporation
commission for information.)

INDUSTRY CANADA NOTICE
NOTICE: The Industry Canada label identifies
certified equipment. This certification means that
the equipment meets certain telecommunications
network protective, operational and safety
requirements as prescribed in the appropriate
Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements
document(s). 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
facilities of the local telecommunications
company. The equipment must also be installed
using an acceptable method of connection.
The customer should be aware that compliance
with the above conditions may not prevent
degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be
coordinated by a representative designated by the
supplier. Equipment malfunctions or any repairs
or alterations made by the user to this equipment
may give the telecommunications company cause
to request that the user disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that
the electrical ground connections of the power
utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water
pipe system, if present, are connected together.
This precaution may be particularly important 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.
NOTICE: The Ringer Equivalence Number
(REN) assigned to each terminal device provides
an indication of the maximum number of
terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone
interface. The termination on an interface may
consist of any combination of devices subject only
to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer
Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not
exceed 5. The Ringer Equivalence Number for
this equipment is 0.79 B.
AVIS DE L’INDUSTRIE CANADA
AVIS: L’étiquette d’Industrie Canada identifie le
matériel homologué.
Cette étiquette certifie que le matériel est
conforme aux normes de protection,
d’exploitation et de sécurité des réseaux de
télécommunications, comme le prescrivent les
documents concernant les exigences techniques
relatives au matériel terminal. Le Ministère
n’assure toutefois pas que le matériel fonctionnera
à la satisfaction de l’utilisateur.
Avant d’installer ce matériel, l’utilisateur doit
s’assurer qu’il est permis de le raccorder aux
installations de l’entreprise locale de
télécommunication. Le matériel doit également
être installé en suivant une méthode acceptée de
raccordement. L’abonné ne doit pas oublier qu’il
est possible que la conformité aux conditions
énoncées ci-dessus n’empêche pas la dégradation
du service dans certaines situations.
Les réparations de matériel homologué doivent
être coordonnées par un représentant désigné par
le fournisseur. L’entreprise de télécommunications
peut demander à l’utilisateur de débrancher un
appareil à la suite de réparations ou de
modifications effectuées par l’utilisateur ou à
cause de mauvais fonctionnement.
Pour sa propre protection, l’utilisateur doit
s’assurer que tous les fils de mise à la terre de la
source d’énergie électrique, des lignes
téléphoniques et des canalisations d’eau
métalliques, s’il y en a, sont raccordés ensemble.
Cette précaution est particulièrement importante
dans les régions rurales.
Avertissement: L’utilisateur ne doit pas tenter de
faire ces raccordements lui-même; il doit avoir
recours à un service d’inspection des installations
électriques, ou à un électricien, selon le cas.
AVIS: L’indice d’équivalence de la sonnerie (IES)
assigné à chaque dispositif terminal indique le
nombre maximal de terminaux qui peuvent être
raccordés à une interface.
VAIO Slimtop™ System Reference Manualix
La terminaison d’une interface téléphonique peut
consister en une combination de quelques
dispositifs, à la seule condition que la somme
d’indices d’équivalence de la sonnerie de tous les
dispositifs n’excède pas 5. L’indice d’équivalence
de la sonnerie de ce matériel est de 0.79 B.
