Telecommunications per Part 68 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR47) (applicable to products
fitted with USA modems)
Your modem complies with Part 68 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR47) 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
92
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.

Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a

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.
