Telecommunications per FCC part 68 
(applicable to products fitted with USA modems)
Your modem complies with Part 68 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) 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.
An FCC-compliant 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 
s u c h  m e s s a g e  c l e a r l y  c o n t a i n s ,  i n  a  m a r g i n  a t  t h e  t o p  o r  b o t t o m  o f  e a c h  t r a n s m i t t e d  p a g e  o r  o n  t h e  
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.

Unintentional emitter per ICES-003
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital 
apparatus as set out in the radio interference regulations of Industry Canada.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites 
applicables aux appareils numériques de Classe B prescrites dans le règlement sur le brouillage 
radioélectrique édicté par Industrie Canada.
Telecommunications per Industry Canada CS-03 
(for products fitted with an IC-compliant modem)
The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the 
equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operation, and safety 
requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the users’ 
satisfaction.
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.
