Responsible Party: Sony Electronics Inc.
Address: 680 Kinderkamack Rd
Oradell, NJ 07649
Telephone: 201-930-6972
This phone number is for FCC-related matters
only.
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
interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Model No.: PCVA-IMB4A
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 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
equipment and the receiver.
❑ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
❑ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/
TV technician 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 noncompliant 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.

FCC Part 68
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC
rules. The FCC Ringer Equivalence Number (REN)
for this equipment is 0.8B. 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
1-888-4-SONY-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 1-888-4SONY-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.)
Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (United States)

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

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 : Le presént matériel est conforme aux
spécifications techniques d’Industrie Canada
applicables au matérial terminal. Cette conformité est

VAIO Digital Studio System Reference Manual
confirmée par le numéro d’enregistrement, signifie
que l’enregistrement s’est effectué conformément à
une déclaration de conformité et indique que les
specifications techniques d’Industrie Canada ont été
respectées. Il n’implique pas qu’Industrie Canada a
approuvé le matériel.
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.
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 0.8B.
