Rules And Regulations - Sony CM-B1200 Operating Instructions Manual

Rules and regulations

The U.S. Federal Communications
Commission and the Industry
Canada regulate cellular/PCS
telephone service in their
respective countries. It is important
for you, the cellular/PCS telephone
user, to observe the applicable
regulations when operating your
cellular/PCS telephone in either
country. In addition to these U.S.
and Canadian federal regulations,
you may be bound also by certain
state, provincial, territorial, and
local rules and regulations, as well
as by your cellular/PCS carrier's
tariff (the rates, terms, and
conditions of its service). If you
wish to use your cellular/PCS
telephone in both the U.S. and
Canada, please consult with your
System Operator.
Furthermore, you should
remember that your cellular/PCS
telephone is a radiotelephone, — i.e.,
it combines both wireline
technology, as used in your home
or office telephone system, and
radio technology — and that the
scope of regulations and
precautions is therefore broader
than the scope of regulations and
precautions relating to wireline-
only telephone usage.
Some of the major points of
consideration are set out below.
Please note, however, that these
"Rules and Regulations" and
"Safety Precautions" sections do
not constitute legal advice, and are
intended merely for general
B2200 01-09draft3
information purposes. If you have
specific questions, please contact
your cellular/PCS carrier (System
Operator).
License — If your home system is
in the U.S., you do not require a
separate license to operate your
cellular/PCS telephone; obtaining
a cellular/PCS telephone access
number is sufficient to register you
as a user. If your home system is in
Canada, a separate license is
required; your carrier will assist
you in the licensing process. If you
wish to use your cellular/PCS
telephone on both sides of the
border, please contact your
cellular/PCS carrier (System
Operator).
Equipment modifications — The
U.S. Federal Communications
Commission has type-approved the
model of cellular/PCS telephone
which you have purchased, and
has allocated a specific frequency
range for cellular/PCS service. No
changes or adjustments are to be
made to your cellular/PCS
telephone.
The radio equipment shall be made
available for inspection upon
request by representatives of the
FCC or licensees.
Denial of service — A cellular/
PCS carrier may deny service
temporarily or terminate service for
violation of any government
regulations or violation of its tariff.
