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 (5.0). 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 a 
computer or other electronic device to send any message via a telephone fax machine unless such message
