Regulatory Information

NOTICE

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by 
Fujitsu could void this user’s authority to operate the 
equipment.

FCC NOTICES
Notice to Users of Radios and Television

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protec-
tion against harmful interference in a residential installa-
tion. 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 partic-
ular 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 between the equipment and 
receiver.

Connect the equipment into an outlet that is on a 
different circuit than the receiver.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.

Shielded interconnect cables must be employed with this 
equipment to ensure compliance with the pertinent RF 
emission limits governing this device. 

Notice to Users of the US Telephone Network

This equipment contains a Foxconn Electronics Inc. 
Modem T60M283.10 that complies with Part 68 of the 
FCC rules, and the requirements adopted by ACTA. On 
the bottom of this equipment is a label that contains, 
among other information, the FCC registration number 
and ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equip-
ment; or a product identifier in the format 
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this information or 
number must be provided to the telephone company.

This equipment is designed to be connected to the tele-
phone network or premises wiring using a standard jack 
type USOC RJ11C. A plug and jack used to connect this 
equipment to the premises wiring and telephone 
network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 
rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A 
compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided 
with this product. It is designed to be connected to a 
compatible modular jack that is also compliant.

The ringer equivalent number (REN) of this equipment 
is 0.6B. The REN is used to determine the number of 

devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Exces-
sive RENs on a telephone 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., 00 is a REN of 
0.0). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown 
on the label.

If this equipment 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 facili-
ties, equipment, operations or procedures that could 
affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens, 
the telephone company will provide advance notice in 
order for you to make necessary modifications to main-
tain uninterrupted service. 

If trouble is experienced with this equipment, for repair 
or warranty information, please refer to the manual or 
contact Fujitsu Computer Systems, Customer Service. If 
the equipment is causing harm to the telephone 
network, the telephone company may request that you 
disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved.

The equipment cannot be used on public coin service 
provided by the telephone company. Connection to 
party line service is subject to state tariffs. (Contact the 
state public utility commission, public service commis-
sion or corporation commission for information). 

If your home has specially wired alarm equipment 
connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation 
of this computer does not disable your alarm equip-
ment. If you have any questions about what will disable 
alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a 
qualified installer.

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes 
it unlawful for any person to use a computer or other 
electronic device to send any message via a telephone fax 
machine unless such message clearly contains in a 
margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or 
on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it 
is sent, and an identification of the business or other 
entity, or other individual sending the message and the
