Telecommunications per 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 (CFR 47) 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). 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 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, 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 with the fax-branding requirement.

Before installing this equipment, users should make sure that it is permissible to be connected to 
the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using 
an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the inside wiring associated with a single-line 
individual service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly. The customer 
should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of 
service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility 
designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or 
equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user 
to disconnect the equipment.
Users should make sure, for their own protection, that the electrical ground connections of the 
power utility, telephone lines, and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected 
together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.

to this product is your reminder to dispose of your “end of life” product properly.
Substances such as glass, plastics, and certain chemical compounds are highly recoverable, 
recyclable, and reusable. You can do your part for the environment by following these simple steps:
When your electrical or electronic equipment is no longer useful to you, “take it back” 
to your local or regional waste collection administration for recycling.
In some cases, your “end of life” product may be “traded in” for credit towards the 
purchase of new Gateway equipment. Call Gateway to see if this program is available 
in your area.
If you need further assistance in recycling, reusing, or trading in your “end of life” 
product, you may contact us at the Customer Care number listed in your product’s user 
guide and we will be glad to help you with your effort.
Finally, we suggest that you practice other environmentally friendly actions by understanding and 
using the energy-saving features of this product (where applicable), recycling the inner and outer 
packaging (including shipping containers) this product was delivered in, and by disposing of or 
recycling used batteries properly.
With your help, we can reduce the amount of natural resources needed to produce electrical and 
electronic equipment, minimize the use of landfills for the disposal of “end of life” products, and 
generally improve our quality of life by ensuring that potentially hazardous substances are not 
released into the environment and are disposed of properly.
