A USTRALIAN WARNINGS

WARNING

FOR SAFETY REASONS, ONLY CONNECT EQUIPMENT WITH A TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPLIANCE LABEL. THIS INCLUDES CUSTOMER EQUIPMENT PREVIOUSLY LABELLED PERMITTED OR CERTIFIED .

Connection of Non Certified/Approved peripherals may result in the equipment operating outside the Australian EMI Standards.

Modems connected to the Australian telecommunications network must be operated in accordance with the Labelling Notice. This modem has been specifically configured to ensure compliance with the ACA Standards. Do not adjust your modem or software outside the values indicated below. To do so would result in your modem being operated in a non-compliant manner.

Call Attempts/Retries:

Applications software shall be configured so that no more than 3 attempts are made to establish a connection to a given number (Note: if the modem can detect service tones, up to 10 attempts can be made). If the call sequence is unsuccessful, there shall be a dela y of at least 30 min utes bef ore attempting to call the number again.

Failure to set the modem, and any application softw are used with the modem, to the values shown above will result in the modem being operated in a non-compliant manner . Consequently, this would be in violation of the Labelling Notice for this equipment, and the Telecommunications Act 1997 prescribes penalties for the connection of non-compliant equipment.

NEW ZEALAND WARNINGS

The grant of a Telepermit for any item of terminal equipment indicates only that Telecom has accepted that the item complies with minimum conditions for connection to its network. It indicates no endorsement of the product by Telecom, nor does it provide any sort of warranty. Above all, it provides no assurance that any item will work correctly in all respects with another item of Telepermitted equipment of a different make or model, nor does it imply that any product is compatible with all of Telecom’s network services.

This equipment is not capable under all operating conditions of correct operation at the higher speeds for which it is designed. 56 KBPS connections are likely to be restricted to lower bit rates when connected to some PSTN implementations. Telecom will accept no responsibility should difficulties arise in such circumstances.

Immediately disconnect this equipment should it become physically damaged, and arrange for its disposal or repair.

This equipment shall not be used in any manner, which could constitute a nuisance to other Telecom customers.

This equipment shall not be set to make automatic calls to the Telecom “111” Emergency Service. This device is equipped with pulse dialling while the New Zealand standard is DTMF tone dialling. There is no guarantee that Telecom lines will always continue to support pulse dialling. It is strongly recommended that pulse dialling is not used.

Some parameters required for compliance with Telecom’s Telepermit requirements are dependent on the equipment (PC) associated with this device. The associated equipment shall be set to operate within the following limits for compliance with Telecom’s Specifications:

For repeat calls to the same number.

There shall be no more than 10 call attempts to the same number within any 30 minute period for any single manual call initiation, and The equipment shall go on-hook for a period of not less than 30 seconds between the end of one attempt and the beginning of the next attempt.

For Automatic calls to different numbers.

The equipment shall go on-hook for a period of not less than 5 seconds between the end of one attempt and the beginning of the next attempt.

For Automatically answered Incoming Calls

Incoming calls shall be answered between 3 and 30 seconds from the start of the ringing.

For correct operation, the total of the RNs of all devices connected to a single line at anytime should not exceed 5. The RN of this Equipment is 0.5.

WARNING Connection of Non Certified/Approved peripherals may result in the equipment operating

outside the New Zealand EMI Standards.
