FCC Part 15 Registration
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interface, and
2. This device must accept any interface received including
interface that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the distance between the equipment and
receiver
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
CTR 21 pan-European Certification
This equipment has been approved in accordance with Council Decision 98/482/EC for pan-European single terminal connection to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). However, due to differences between the individual PSTNs provided in different countries, the approval does not, of itself, give an unconditional assurance of successful operation on every PSTN network termination point. In the event of problems, you should contact your equipment supplier in the first instance.
This device is designed to work with the notified networks in all EC member states. Nevertheless, some of the network services in invidual countries might not be supported, but they will not affect the normal data and fax applications. For example, the metering charge service in Germany. Besides you may encounter difficulty of using PULSE dialing function in some of the countries, such as Nordic countries. This kind of network compatibility is dependent on the physical and software settings of this device. If the users are desired to use this device on those networks, they should contact the vendor or supplier first.
