Canadian Ringer Equivalence Number Notice  
The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified equipment. This certification  
means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational, and  
safety requirements. The department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the users  
satisfaction.  
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facili-  
ties of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must be installed using an acceptable  
method of connection. In some cases, the companys inside wiring associated with a single line indi-  
vidual service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension  
cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with the above condition may not prevent  
degradation of service in some situations.  
Repairs to some certified equipment should be made by an authorized maintenance facility designated  
by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or any equipment  
malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect  
the equipment.  
Users should ensure for their own protection that the ground connections of the power utility, tele-  
phone lines, and internal metallic water pipe system are connected together. This precaution may  
be important particularly in rural areas.  
CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves but should contact the  
appropriate electrical inspection authority or electrician as appropriate.  
The RINGER EQUIVALENCE NUMBER (REN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the percent-  
age of the total load to be connected to a telephone loop which is used by the device to prevent  
overloading. The termination on a loop may consist of any combination of devices subject only to  
the requirement that the total of the REN of all devices does not exceed five.  
The REN for the MAT960 is 0.9B.

that contains, among other information, the FCC Registration Number and Ringer Equivalence  
Number (REN) for this equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your tele-  
phone company. The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your  
telephone line and still have all of those 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 five. 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 to determine the maximum REN  
for your calling area.  
If your telephone equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may dis-  
continue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance. But, if advance notice  
is not practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will be informed of your right to file a  
complaint with the FCC.  
Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that  
could affect the proper functioning of your equipment. If they do, you will be notified in advance to  
give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted telephone service.  
If you experience trouble with this telephone equipment, please contact Philips Consumer Electronics  
Company repair facility at Philips Service Solutions Group, P.O. Box 555, Old Andrew Johnson  
Highway, Jefferson City, TN 37760, for more information on obtaining service or repairs. The tele-  
phone company may ask that you disconnect this equipment from the network until the problem  
has been corrected or until you are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning.  
This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company. Connection to  
party lines is subject to state tariffs.

Connections  
Connecting your System  
Before you can connect to the WebTV Network, you  
must connect your Internet Terminal to each of the  
following:  
Your TV (either directly or through your VCR)  
A telephone line  
And an AC power outlet.  
The type of connection you choose depends on  
whether your TV:  
Has S-VIDEO, RCA-type A/V (audio/video), or RFU  
coaxial jacks  
Or is connected to a VCR.  
An S-VIDEO connection provides the best picture  
quality of all the connection options. For optimum  
audio performance, consider integrating the Internet  
Terminal into your home entertainment system.  
Telephone Line Connection O ptions  
If possible, connect your Internet Terminal to a tele-  
phone jack that isnt connected to a telephone. If you  
have only one telephone jack, use the T-splitter to  
share the line. This will enable you to keep both the  
Internet Terminal and your telephone plugged in at the  
same time. Plug the T-splitter into the wall telephone  
jack.  
If you dont have Call Waiting service for your phone  
line, a person trying to call you while youre connected  
to WebTV gets a busy signal.  
If you have Call Waiting, see Select Dialing Options on  
page 31. If you activate Call Waiting and you receive a  
telephone call, your Internet Terminal temporarily dis-  
connects from the WebTV Network. When this hap-  
pens, your telephone will ring, and you can take the  
call the way you normally do. To reconnect to the  
WebTV Network, press the GO button on the  
remote. WebTV reconnects you to the page you were  
visiting when the call came in.  
For information on disconnecting from the WebTV  
Network to make a telephone call, see Advanced  
Options/Hang Up on page 35.  
If the telephones in your house are generally busy, you  
might consider using a separate, or dedicated, tele-  
phone line for the WebTV Network. Contact your  
local phone company to order a separate phone line.
