FCC REGULATORY STATEMENTS

FCC Certification

10/100 Fast Ethernet + 56K Fax/Modem PC Card FCC
ID: MQ4LF560TX
Made in Taiwan

The United States Federal Communication Commission (FCC) and
the Canadian Department of Communications have established
certain rules governing the use of modems and other electronic
equipment.

FCC Part 68 Registration

This high speed 10/100 Fast Ethernet + 56K FAX/MODEM PC Card
complies with FCC Part 68 rules, and the use of this modem is
subject to the following restrictions:

1. The FCC has established rules which permit this device to be
directly connected to the telephone network. Standardized jacks
are used for these connections. This equipment should not be
used on party lines or coin phones.

2. If this device is malfunctioning, it may also be causing harm to
the telephone network; this device should be disconnected until the
source of the problem can be determined and until repair has been
made. If this is not done, the telephone company may temporarily
disconnect service.

3. The telephone company may make changes in it's facilities,
equipment, operation and procedures; if such changes affect the
compatibility or use of this device, the telephone company is
required to give adequate notice of the situation with the FCC.

4. If the telephone company requests information on what

equipment is connected to their lines, inform them of:

a. The telephone number to which this unit is connected.
b. The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN).
c. The USOC jack required.
d. The FCC Registration number.

Items (b) and (d) are indicated on the label. The Ringer Equivalence
Number (REN) is used to determine how many devices can be
connected to your telephone line. In most areas, the sum of the REN's

IV

of all the devices on any one line should not exceed 5.0. If too many
devices are attached, they may not ring properly.

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:

(1) Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

(a) Increase the distance between the equipment and

receiver

(b) Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connected.

(2) Consult an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
