Internal Modem Compliancy
The Notebook PC with internal modem model complies with JATE (Japan), FCC (US, Canada, Korea, 
Taiwan),  and  CTR21.  The  internal  modem  has  been  approved  in  accordance  with  Council  Decision 
98/482/EC  for  pan-European  single  terminal  connection  to  the  public  switched  telephone  network 
(PSTN). However due to differences between the individual PSTNs provided in different countries, the 
approval  does  not,  of  itself,  give  an  unconditional  assurance  of  successful  operation  on  every  PSTN 
network termination point. In the event of problems you should contact your equipment supplier in the 
first instance.
Overview
On  4th August  1998  the  European  Council  Decision  regarding  the  CTR  21  has  been  published  in  the 
Official Journal of the EC. The CTR 21 applies to all non voice terminal equipment with DTMF-dialling 
which is intended to be connected to the analogue PSTN (Public Switched\
 Telephone Network). 
CTR 21 (Common Technical Regulation) for the attachment requirements for connection to the analogue 
public switched telephone networks of terminal equipment (excluding terminal equipment supporting 
the voice telephony justified case service) in which network addressing, if provided, is by means of dual 
tone multifrequency signalling.
Network Compatibility Declaration
Statement to be made by the manufacturer to the Notified Body and the vendor: “This declaration will 
indicate  the  networks  with  which  the  equipment  is  designed  to  work  and  any  notified  networks  with 
which the equipment may have inter-working difficulties”
Network Compatibility Declaration 
Statement to be made by the manufacturer to the user: “This declaration will indicate the networks with 
which  the  equipment  is  designed  to  work  and  any  notified  networks  with  which  the  equipment  may 
have inter-working difficulties. The manufacturer shall also associate a statement to make it clear where 
network compatibility is dependent on physical and software switch settings. It will also advise the user 
to contact the vendor if it is desired to use the equipment on another n\
etwork.”
Up to now the Notified Body of CETECOM issued several pan-European approvals using CTR 21. The 
results are Europe’s first modems which do not require regulatory approvals in each individual European 
country.
Non-Voice Equipment 
Answering machines and loud-speaking telephones can be eligible as well as modems, fax machines, 
auto-dialers and alarm systems. Equipment in which the end-to-end quality of speech is controlled by 
regulations (e.g. handset telephones and in some countries also cordles\
s telephones) is excluded.

1 National requirements will apply only if the equipment may use pulse dialling (manufacturers may state 
in the user guide that the equipment is only intended to support DTMF signalling, which would make 
any additional testing superfluous).
In The Netherlands additional testing is required for series connection and caller ID facilities.

Federal Communications Commission Statement
This device complies with FCC Rules Part 15. Operation is subject to the\
 following two conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful interference, and
•  This  device  must  accept  any  interference  received,  including  interference  that  may  cause  undesired 
operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant 
to Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (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. 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 between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect  the  equipment  into  an  outlet  on  a  circuit  different  from  that  to  which  the  receiver  is 
connected. 
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
WARNING!  The use of a shielded-type power cord is required in order to meet FCC 
emission limits and to prevent interference to the nearby radio and television recep-
tion.    It  is  essential  that  only  the  supplied  power  cord  be  used.  Use  only  shielded 
cables to connect I/O devices to this equipment. You are cautioned that changes or 
modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could 
void your authority to operate the equipment.
