Telecommunications per FCC part 68 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR 47) (applicable to products
fitted with USA modems)
Your modem complies with Part 68 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR47) rules. On the computer or
modem card is a label that contains the FCC registration
number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this
device. If requested, this information must be provided to
the telephone company.
A telephone line cord with a modular plug is required
for use with this device. The modem is designed to
be connected to the telephone network or premises
wiring using a compatible modular jack which is Part 68
compliant. See installation instructions for details.
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is used
to determine the number of devices which may be
connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on a
telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in
response to an incoming call. In most 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.
If this device causes harm to the telephone network,
the telephone company will notify you in advance
that temporary discontinuance of service may be
required. The telephone company may request that you
disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved.
The telephone company may make changes in its
facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that
could affect the operation of this equipment. If this
happens, the telephone company will provide advance
notice in order for you to make necessary modifications
to maintain uninterrupted service.
This equipment cannot be used on telephone company-
provided coin service. Connection to party line service
is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility
commission or public service commission for information.
When programming or making test calls to emergency
numbers:
• Remain on the line and briefly explain to the
dispatcher the reason for the call.
• Perform such activities in the off-peak hours such as
early morning or late evenings.
The United States Telephone Consumer Protection
Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use

bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page
of the transmission, the date and time it is sent, an
identification of the business, other entity, or other
individual sending the message, and the telephone
number of the sending machine or such business, other
entity, or individual. Refer to your fax communication
software documentation for details on how to comply
