FCC Regulations and Information
FCC Registr a tion In f or ma ti on
Y our Satellite Receiver has been registered by the
Federal Commu n i c a t ion Commission (FCC) as not
being harmful to the telephone network when
connected directly to the telephone lines. In order
to fully comply with the Rules of the FCC, the
following instructions should be read carefully and
followed completely where applicable:
FCC has established Rules which permit this
device to be directly connected to the telephone
network. Standardized jacks are used for these
connections. This equipment should not be used on
party lines or coin phones.
If this device is malfunctioning, it may also be
causing harm to the telephone network; this device
should be disconnected until the source of the
problem can be determined and until the repair has
been made. If this is not done, the telephone
company may temporarily disconnect service.
The telephone comp an y may ma ke c hang e s in its
technical operations and procedures; if such
changes affect the compatibility or use of this
device, the telephone company is required to give
adequate notice of the changes. You will be advised
of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
If the telephone company requests information on
what equipment is connected to their lines, inform
them of:
a. The telephone number to which this unit is
connected.
b. The ringer equivalence number.
c. The USOC jack required.
d. The FCC Registration Number.
Items (b) and (d) are indicated on the label. The
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is used to
determine how many devices can be connected to
your telephone line. In most areas, the sum of the
REN’s of all devices on any one line should not
exceed five (5). If too many devices are attached,
they may not ring properly.
Service Requirements
In the event of equipment malfunction, all repairs
should be performed by our Company or an
authorized agent. It is the responsibility of users
requiring service to report the need for service to
our company or to one of our authorized agents.
For service, call 1-888-772-7669.
Radio Interference Information
This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable pr otection
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 with
radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause
interference to radio or television reception (which
you can determine by turning the equipment off
and on), you are encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following
measures:
Change the position of the Satellite Receiver with
respect to the radio or television equipment that is
receiving the interference.
Move the Satellite Receiver away from the
equipment that is receiving the interference.
Plug the Satellite Receiver into a different outlet so
that the Satellite Receiver and the equipment
receiving the interference are on different branch
circuits.
Shielded cables and I/O cords must be used for
this equipment to comply with the relevant FCC
regulations. Changes or modifications not
expressly approved in writing by Sony Electronics,
Inc., void the user’s authority to operate this
equipment.
If these measures do not eliminate the interference,
you should consult your Satellite Receiver dealer or
an experienced radio/television technician for
additional suggestions. In addition, you may find
the following booklet prepared by the FCC helpful:
“How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV
Interference Problems.” This booklet is available
from the U.S. Government P rint ing Office,
Washington, D.C., 20402
