publication date. Contact the FCC (see following) or a library for complete text of the regulations.
Telephone Communication
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the back panel of
this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If
requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company.
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the
applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is
provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant, such as RJ-

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a
telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of
RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined
by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this
product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN
without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.
If this 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 isn't 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
operation of the equipment. If this happens the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make
necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.

Signal Strength Present at the Television
The software-based attenuator within the satellite receiver will limit the signal present at your television set to below the
FCC signal strength limit of 75.6dBuV. If you choose not to enable the attenuator, you must ensure that the signal strength
present at the TV set does not exceed 75.6dBuV.
Connecting to an Over-the-Air Antenna
In order to receive local broadcast channels, you may wish to install an over-the-air antenna into your over-the-air tuner
module or TV distribution equipment. There are many devices that allow you to connect your antenna to your in-home
distribution system such as splitters and amplifiers. You must be careful to meet certain FCC regulations with respect to the
isolation between the antenna port and the network port of your system. It is recommended that you purchase a splitter or
amplifier with the correctly specified isolation from your local satellite television retailer.
