FCC INFORMATION TO THE USER
RADIO AND TELEVISION INTERFERENCE
This equipment radiates radio frequency energy and if not used properly—that is,
in strict accordance with the instructions in this manual—may cause interference to
radio communications and television reception. It has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. 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 the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation distance between the equipment and the receiver.
• If you are using the equipment with a mains adaptor, plug it into an outlet
which is on a different circuit from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
For customers in the USA, the following booklet prepared by the Federal Communications Commission may be of help: “How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV
Interference Problems”. This booklet is available from the US Government Printing

plug for connection to the compatible and compliant modular jack in this equipment. See later for details.
REN=0.0B
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a
telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not
ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs
should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be
connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone
company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is
part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits
represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3).
For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.
If this terminal equipment, NETBOOK PRO, causes harm to the telephone network,
the Telephone Company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance
of service may be required. But if advance notice isn't practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your
right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.
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
