FCC Part 68 & Class B Notices
Your Wireless Modem System complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules. You must, upon request, provide
the FCC registration number and the REN to your telephone company. These numbers are shown on
the label on the base unit.
This equipment complies with the limits for a Class B digital device as specified in Part 15 of FCC
Rules. These limits provide reasonable protection against radio and TV interference in a residential
area. However, your equipment might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating
properly. To eliminate interference you can try one or more of the following corrective measures:
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
•
Increase the distance between the system and the radio or TV
•
Use outlets on different electrical circuits for the equipment and the radio or TV
Read the Troubleshooting section of this manual for directions on remedying the problem.
Lightning
Your Wireless Modem Jack System has built-in protection circuits to reduce the risk of damage from
surges in the telephone line. These protection circuits meet or exceed the FCC requirements.
However, lightning striking the telephone or power lines can damage your system. Lightning damage
is not common. Nevertheless, if you live in an area that has severe electrical storms, we suggest that
you unplug the system during storms to reduce the possibility of damage.
Important Notes On Operation
•
Do not plug Modem Jacks into power strips or surge protectors.
•
Modem Jack Extension does not operate during a power outage.
•
Modem Jack System can only be used for single phone line.
•
Be sure to plug Base unit (two jacks on side) in first before Extension unit (one jack on side).

If you cannot get a dial tone, unplug both phone jacks and reset units following the section titled
“Trouble Shooting”on page 8.

It is very important that directions are followed in order. In the event of a problem unplug both units,
remove all cords and start again.
