Warranty and License Information

To Our Valued Customer

Congratulations on your decision to purchase a Compaq Presario PC! During development, the
Compaq Presario must pass extensive quality tests to meet the rigorous standards that have made
Compaq famous for quality and reliability.

All Compaq Presarios go through a comprehensive quality test to ensure the PC is working correctly
before it leaves our factory. In addition, we have placed a security seal on your PC to indicate that
it has not been tampered with since it left our factory.

We know that expanding and upgrading are key benefits for all customers. We are proud to make
this a key differentiator for our Compaq Presario and understand that you may wish to upgrade
your PC to meet your specific needs.

Any hardware upgrades that you intend to do should only be done after you have completely set
up your new Compaq Presario. Refer to the setup poster included with your system for help with
setting up. If you have any problems setting up your system and turning it on, immediately contact
the Compaq Customer Support Center listed earlier in this Warranty and Support Guide, and a
Compaq Customer Representative will assist you. This must be done first before attempting to
upgrade your system.

By breaking the security seal on the back of the Compaq Presario, you are confirming that the
Compaq Presario was working properly before you attempted to upgrade your system. Once the
security seal has been broken, your Compaq Presario is then, to the extent allowed by local law,
covered under the terms and conditions listed in the following pages.

Thank you for choosing the Compaq Presario. We hope you enjoy discovering the exciting things
you can do with it!

And, if Necessary: Get Repair

If your computer needs to be repaired or to have parts replaced, you have two choices.

1 You can easily replace many of your Compaq Presario parts that are considered consumer

replaceable. This is the fastest method of repair, as many times we can send the part directly to
your home or business in a few days. This service is free for one year from the date you
purchased your computer.

2 If a repair is necessary, the Compaq Customer Support Center will make arrangements to fix

your computer. This service is free for one year from the date you purchased your computer.

There are a few limitations and exclusions to this warranty (as well as some important details),
which are described in the following section.

The Legal Language

Compaq Limited Warranty Statement

COMPAQ PRODUCT DURATION OF LIMITED WARRANTY

Hardware — Parts and Labor: 1 Year

Phone assistance to get you up-and-running: 30 days

Compaq warrants to you, the end-user customer, that Compaq hardware, accessories, and supplies will
be free from defects in materials and workmanship after the date of purchase, for the period specified
above. If Compaq receives notice of such defects during the warranty period, Compaq will, at its option,
either repair or replace products which prove to be defective. Replacement products may be either new
or equivalent in performance to new.

Compaq warrants to you that Compaq software will not fail to execute its programming instructions after
the date of purchase, for the period specified above, due to defects in material and workmanship when
properly installed and used. If Compaq receives notice of such defects during the warranty period,
Compaq will replace software which does not execute its programming instructions due to such defects.

Compaq does not warrant that the operation of Compaq products will be uninterrupted or error free. If
Compaq is unable, within a reasonable time, to repair or replace any product to a condition as
warranted, you will be entitled to a refund of the purchase price on a prorated basis upon prompt return
of the product.

Compaq products may contain remanufactured parts equivalent to new in performance or may have
been subject to incidental use.

specifications for the product, (f) improper site preparation or maintenance or (g) unplanned acts of
nature, such as floods, tornadoes, lightning strikes, hurricanes, or earthquakes. TO THE EXTENT
ALLOWED BY LOCAL LAW, THE ABOVE WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND NO OTHER
WARRANTY OR CONDITION, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, IS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED AND
COMPAQ SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF
MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Some
countries/regions, states, or provinces do not allow limitations on the duration of an implied warranty, so
the above limitation or exclusion might not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and
you might also have other rights that vary from country/region to country/region, state to state, or
province to province.

Compaq’s limited warranty is valid in any country/region or locality where Compaq has a support
presence for this product and where Compaq has marketed this product. The level of warranty service
you receive may vary according to local standards. Compaq will not alter form, fit, or function of the
product to make it operate in a country/region for which it was never intended to function for legal or
regulatory reasons.

TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LOCAL LAW, THE REMEDIES IN THIS WARRANTY STATEMENT ARE
YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES. EXCEPT AS INDICATED ABOVE, IN NO EVENT WILL
COMPAQ OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR LOSS OF DATA OR FOR DIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL,
CONSEQUENTIAL (INCLUDING LOST PROFIT OR DATA), OR OTHER DAMAGE, WHETHER BASED IN
CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE. Some countries/regions, states, or provinces do not allow the
exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may
not apply to you.

THE WARRANTY TERMS CONTAINED IN THIS STATEMENT, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT LAWFULLY
PERMITTED, DO NOT EXCLUDE, RESTRICT, OR MODIFY AND ARE IN ADDITION TO THE
MANDATORY STATUTORY RIGHTS APPLICABLE TO THE SALE OF THIS PRODUCT TO YOU.

Network Interface Cards

Compaq warrants the operation on a network interface card (NIC), only if factory preinstalled by

exchange of the CDs.

Customer Responsibilities

You may be required to run Compaq-supplied diagnostic programs before an in-home visit will be
scheduled or a replacement part will be dispatched.

You are responsible for the security of your proprietary and confidential information and for maintaining a
procedure external to the products for reconstruction of lost or altered files, data, or programs. You should
back up all data on your system before calling the Compaq Customer Support Center.

For In-home service, you must provide: access to the product; adequate working space and facilities
within a reasonable distance of the product; access to and use of all information and facilities determined
necessary by Compaq to service the product; and operating supplies and consumables such as you
would use during normal operation.

When service is being performed in-home, you or your representative, 18 years of age or older, must be
present at all times. You must state if the product is being used in an environment which poses a potential
health hazard to repair personnel; Compaq may require that the product be maintained by customer

Austel Statement (Australia Only)

When setting the number of automatic redials for the modem, ensure the following:
The number of automatic redials that the modem performs should be limited to a
maximum of 9 redials plus the original call. If the above retries are unsuccessful,
no further attempts should be made to the same number for a minimum period of
five minutes.

WARNING: Failure to set the modem, and any communication
software used with the modem, to the values contained in the listing
will result in the modem being operated in a non-compliant manner.
Consequently, there would be no permit in force for this equipment, and
the Telecommunications Act 1991 prescribes a penalty of A$12,000 for
the connection of non-permitted equipment.

Australia/New Zealand Telecom Statement

Your modem has been granted an Austel Permit for use in Australia and
a New Zealand Telecom Telepermit for use in New Zealand. In each
country/region, special conditions apply to the settings and features of your
modem. Failure to observe these conditions might result in heavy penalties
being applied (up to A$12,000.00 in Australia).

WARNING: For safety reasons, only connect equipment with a
telecommunications compliance label. This includes customer equipment
previously labeled, permitted or certified.

The grant of a Permit/Telepermit in no way indicates the telecom agency’s
acceptance of responsibility for the correct operation of that device under all
operating conditions. In particular, the higher speeds at which this modem is
capable of operating depend on a specific network implementation which is only
one of many ways of delivering high-quality voice telephone to customers. Failure
to operate should not be reported as a fault to Telecom or Austel.

In addition to satisfactory line conditions, a modem can work properly only if:

■

It is compatible with the modem at the other end of the call, and

■

The application using the modem is compatible with the application at the other
end of the call; for example, accessing the Internet requires suitable software in
addition to a modem.

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

The setting and features discussed below influence how your modem reacts with
the telephone network. If changes from the default values are made, then it is
possible that unwanted signals or interference may be generated, your modem
might dial wrong numbers or suffer from a reduced level of performance. We
strongly recommend that the settings are not changed under any circumstances
or the Permit/Telepermit may become invalid.

Initialization

Many communications programs react to the default settings when started. This
is usually achieved by the ATZ command and initializes your modem for correct
operation. Many programs are developed for worldwide use and generally use
the ATZ command; however, some programs have built-in modem configuration
utilities and these should not be used unless you can confirm that they are
compatible with Australian and New Zealand requirements.

If your program does not use the ATZ command to initialize, but instead sends a
complex string of characters, then it must be configured to send the correct string
for Australia and New Zealand. The correct initialization string is (spaces should
not be entered; they are to make it easier to read):

AT &F T /N6 S6=3 S7=45 % L=7 &Y0 &W0

Once you have entered this command string, it is written to the internal memory
of the modem and the default configuration.

Dialing

The modem supports both pulse and tone dialing in Australia and only tone
dialing in New Zealand. New Zealand users please note that if pulse dialing is
selected, then wrong numbers will be dialed, as the reverse numbering scheme is
not supported. There are several dial string modifiers referred to in the main users’
manual, and we suggest that they be used with caution to avoid problems when
making calls.

Automatic Answering

To conform with Austel and Telecom New Zealand requirements when configuring
your modem for auto-answering, please do not set the SO register to values
less than 2 or greater than 10 (Note: ATSO-O will disable auto-answering).
Preconfigured software should be checked and changed as necessary.
These settings ensure:

■

A person calling your modem will hear a short burst of ringing before the
modem answers. This confirms that the call has been successfully switched
through the network.

■

Caller identification information (which occurs between the first and second ring
cadences) is not destroyed.

Automatic Multiple Dialing Attempts

Most communication software can be configured to make automatic dialing
attempts to a telephone number that is busy or not answering (automatic redial
function). The maximum number of all attempts that can be made in one sequence
must not exceed the numbers shown in the following table. If your program makes
continuous automatic dialing attempts or more than the number in the table, and it
cannot be changed, an alternative program must be used or automatic dialing
disabled. There is no limit for manually initiated dialing attempts.

Bell Compatible Operation

Bell compatible mode should not be used. Nearly all modems use CCITT mode
because Bell mode is limited to a maximum speed of 300 or 1200 BPS, and
some network interference problems may arise due to line signaling requirements.

Parallel Telephones

If you find that you regularly experience line noise or other interference when
using your modem, we suggest disconnecting other telephones from the line.
Some telephones may place a load across the telephone line when not in use,
which adversely affects the performance of your modem.

If disconnecting parallel telephones reduces the interference, then it may be
necessary to have the telephone(s) repaired or replaced.

WARNING: (New Zealand users only) Please note that operation
of this modem on the same line as telephones or other equipment with
audible ringing devices, or automatic ringing detectors, may cause
“bell tinkle” or false tripping of the ringing detector.

If this occurs, do not contact Telecom Faults Service. Also, please note
that the power consumed from the telephone line by this modem may
not provide for the effective transfer of a call to or from other equipment
connected to the same line.

Connecting to Other Equipment

There are two telephone line sockets in your modem, marked LINE and PHONE.
The telephone line is connected to the LINE socket, and other equipment, such
as the telephone, is connected to the PHONE socket. Please note that Austel
permitted/NZ Telepermitted equipment only may be connected to the PHONE
socket.

Miscellaneous

There are many commands referred to in the main user’s manual. Incorrect use of
some of these commands may render your modem inoperative or severely degrade
its performance. Generally, it is best not to change any setting unless you are
an experienced user.

Should you accidentally alter any settings, and are unsure how to undo the
changes, it is best to completely re-initialize your modem by giving the AT&F
command (the only time you should use this command) and then manually enter
the initialization string of point A. This will reset your modem to the correct settings
for Australia and New Zealand.

Voice Features

If your new modem is fitted with voice features, then it is illegal in Australia
and New Zealand to use it with software that allows recording of telephone
conversations. (It can be used as an answering machine, mail box center,
telemarketing system, and so forth, but it cannot be used to record a “live”
conversation between telephone users.) If your software supports telephone
conversation recording (perhaps called Two-way Recording), then this feature
must be disabled in the program configuration.

WARNING: When using this device, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury
to persons, including the following:

■

Do not use this product near water, for example, near a bathtub,
wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a
swimming pool.

■

Avoid using this product during an electrical storm. There may be a
remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

■

Do not use this product to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

■

Always disconnect the modem cable before opening the equipment
enclosure or touching an uninsulated modem cable, jack or internal
components.

■

If this product was not provided with a telephone line cord, use only
No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord in order to
reduce the risk of fire.

■

Do not plug a modem or telephone cable into the Network Interface
Card (NIC) receptacle.

TV Antenna Connectors Protection

External Television Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the
antenna or cable system is electrically grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper
electrical grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in
wire to an antenna-discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for
the grounding electrode.

Lightning Protection

For added protection of any Compaq product during a lightning storm, or when it
is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug the product from the
wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage
to the product from lightning and power line surges.
