FCC Part 68

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 equivalence

number (REN) for this equipment. 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 (Notebook

Computer PCG-505TS/PCG-505TX) 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

equipment (Notebook Computer

PCG-505TS/PCG-505TX), please contact

1-888-4SONYPC (1-888-476-6972), or write

to the Sony Customer Information Center,

One Sony Drive, Park Ridge, NJ 07656 for

repair and/or warranty information. 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 1-888-4SONYPC

(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.)
