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:
❑ Consult the deal e r or an
experienced radio/TV technic ian
for help.
You are cautioned that any changes or
modifications not expressly approved in
this manual could void your authority to
operate this equipment.
Only peripherals (computer input/output
devices, terminals, printers, etc.) that
comply with FCC Class B limits may be
attached to this computer product.
Operation with non-compliant peripherals
is likely to result in interference to radio
and television reception.
All cables used to connect peripherals
must be shielded and grounded.
Operation with cables, connected to
peripherals, that are not shielded and
grounded, may result in interference to
radio and television reception.
❑ Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.
❑ Increase the separati on between the
equipment and the receiver.
❑ Connect the equipment into an
outlet on a circuit different from
that to whic h the receive r is
connected.
FCC Part 68
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the
FCC rules. The ri ng er equi va len ce nu mbe r
(REN) and the FCC registration number are
printed on the modem board. If requested,
this information must be supplied to the
telephone company .
The REN is used to determin e the quantit y of
devices which may be connected to the
phone line. Excessive REN's 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 REN's should not
exceed five (5.0). T o be certain of the number
of devices that may be connected to the line,
as determined by the total REN's, contact the
telephone company to determine the
maximum REN for the calling area.
This modem uses the U SOC RJ- 11 telephon e
jack.
If this equipment causes harm to the
telephone network, the telephone company
will, when practical, notify you in advance
that temporary discontinuance of service
may be required. If advance notic e isn't
practical, the telephone company will notify
you 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.
Repair of the modem should be made only
by a Sony Service Center or Sony authorized
agent. For the Sony Service Center nearest
