Part 68:
This equipment complies with FCC Rules Part 68. Located on the bottom
of the modem is the FCC Registration Number and Ringer Equivalence Number
(REN). You must provide this information to the telephone company if requested.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices you may legally connect to your telephone line. In most areas, the sum of the REN of all devices connected to one line must not exceed five. You should contact your telephone company to determine the maximum REN for your calling area.
This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company. Connection to party lines is subject to state tariffs.
An FCC compliant telephone cord and modular plug are provided with this equipment, which is designed to connect to the telephone network or premises wiring using a Part 68 compliant compatible jack. See installation instructions for details. This equipment uses the following USOC jacks: RJ-11C. The telco cable needs to be connected with a minimum 26AWG telephone cable.
UL Listing/CUL Listing:
This information technology equipment is UL-Listed and CUL-Listed for
both the U.S. and Canadian markets respectively, for uses described in
this guide.
Fax Branding:
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any
person to use a computer or other electronic device, including fax machines,
to send any message unless such message clearly contains in the margin
at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of
the transmission, the date and time it is sent, an identification of the
business or other entity, or other individual sending the message, and
the telephone number of the sending machine or of such business,
other entity, or individual. (The telephone number provided may not be
a 900 number or any other number for which charges exceed local or long-distance
transmission charges.) In order to program this information into your
modem, refer to the software on the CD-ROM that shipped with your modem.
If you are using a different communication software program, refer to
its manual.
Radio and Television Interference:
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy.
If this equipment is not installed and used in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions, it may cause interference to radio and television communications.
The modem has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B computing device in accordance with the specifications in Part 15 of
FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against
such interference in a residential installation.
For Canadian Modem Users
Industry Canada (IC)
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus set out in the interference-causing equipment standard entitled Digital Apparatus, ICES-003 of Industry Canada.
NOTICE: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The terminal device on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all devices does not exceed 5. The Ringer Equivalence Number is located on the bottom of the modem.
NOTICE: The Industry Canada (IC) label identifies certified equipment. This certification means the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational, and safety requirements as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements document(s). The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction. Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the company's inside wiring associated with a single-line, individual service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations. Currently, telecommunication companies do not allow users to connect their equipment to jacks except in precise situations that are spelled out in tariffing arrangements with those companies. Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
