RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENT
!
WARNING
Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by
the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE
This is a Class B Digital Device. This equipment has
been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Clas s 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.
FCC PART 68
This equipment complies with Part 68 of FCC rules. On the bottom of this
equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC registration
number and r inger equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. If requested,
this information must be provided to the telephone company.
All applicable registration jack USCOs, any facility interface codes and service
order codes associated with the service the equipment must be connected.
The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices that may be connected to the
telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices
not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of
the RE Ns sh ould n ot ex ceed five (5). To be certain of the number of devices that
may be connected to the line, as determined by the total RENs contact the
telephone company to determine the maximum REN for the calling area.
If the MobilePro causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company
will notify you in advance that temporary termination of service may be required.
But if advance notice isn’t possible, the telephone company will notify the
customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a

The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations,
or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens, the
telephone company will advise you in advance to make the necessary
modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.
If you have trouble with the MobilePro, please contact NECCSD Support Services
at 1-800-632-4525 for repair and warranty information. If the trouble is impacting

date and time it is sent and an identification of the business or other entity, or
other individual sending the message and the telephone number of the sending
machine or such business, other entity, or individual. In order to program this
information into your MobilePro refer to the bFax manual on the CD-ROM. If you
are using a different communication software program, refer to its manual.
