Regulation s (CFR47) (applicable t o produc ts f itt ed w ith
USA modems)
Your modem complies with Part68 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR47) rules. On the
computer or modem card is a labe l that contains the FCC registration number and Ringer
Equivalence Number (REN) for this device. If requested, this information must be provided to the
teleph on e co mpany.
A telephone line cord with a modular p lug is require d for use with this device. The modem is
designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using a compatible
modular jack which is Part68-compliant. See installation instructions for details.
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is used to determine the number of devices which may be
connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not
ringing in response to an incoming call. In most areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five
(5.0). To be certain of the n umber of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by
the total RENs, contact the local telephone company.
If this device causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in
advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. The telephone company may
request that you disconnect the equipme nt until the proble m is resolved.
The te lephone company may make ch anges in its facilities, equipment, op erations, or procedures
that could affect the operation of this equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will
provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain
uninterrupted service.
This equipment cannot be used on telephone company-provided coin service. Connection to party
line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission or public service
commission for information.
When programming or making test calls to emergency numb ers:
•
Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call.
•
Perform such activities in the off-peak hours such as early morning or late evenings.
The United States Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person
to use a computer or other electronic device to send any message via a telephone fax machine
unless such message clearly contains, in a 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 i dentification of the
business, other entity, or other individual sending the message, and the telephone number of the
sending machine or such business, othe r entity, or individual. Refer to your fax communication
software documentation for details on how to comply with the fax-branding requirement.
