FCC REGISTRATION INFORMATION

Your HDTV is registered with the Federal Communications Commission and is in
compliance with parts 15B and 68, FCC Rules and Regulations.
1. Notification to the Local Telephone Company.
On the back of this equipment is a label indicating among other information, the FCC
Registration number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment. You
must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone company.
The REN is useful to determine the number of devices you may connect to your
telephone line and still have all these devices ring when your telephone number is
called. In most (but not all) areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one
line should not exceed 5. To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to
your line as determined by the REN, you should contact your local telephone company.
Note: This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone
company. Party lines are subject to state tariffs, and therefore you may not be able to
use your own telephone equipment if you are on a party line. Check with your local
telephone company. Notice must be given to the telephone company upon permanent
disconnection of your equipment from your line.
2. Rights of the Telephone Company.
Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the telephone
network, the telephone company shall, where practicable, notify you that temporary
discontinuance of service may be required. Where prior notice is not practicable and
the circumstances warrant such action, the telephone company may temporarily
discontinue service immediately. In case of such temporary discontinuance, the
telephone company must: (1) promptly notify you of such temporary discontinuance
(2) afford you the opportunity to correct the situation and (3) inform you of your right
to bring a complaint to the Commission pursuant to procedures set forth in Subpart E of
Part 68, FCC Rules and Regulations.
The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities,
equipment, operations of procedures where such action is required in the operation of
its business and not inconsistent with FCC Rules and Regulations. If these changes are
expected to affect the use or performance of your telephone equipment, the telephone
company must give you adequate notice, in writing, to allow you to maintain
uninterrupted service.
