Government Requirements and Equipment Return

Certain governments require that instructions pertaining to modem
connection to the public switched telephone network be included in the
installation and operation manual. Specific instructions are listed in the
following sections.
United States
Notice To Users Of The Public Switched Telephone Network
1. This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the
equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the
FCC registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN)
for this equipment. The label is located on the bottom of the Model
3830 modem.
2. Page A of this manual contains the Universal Service Order Codes
(USOC) associated with the services on which the equipment is to
be connected.
3. The Ringer Equivalence (REN) is used to determine the quantity
of devices which may be connected to the telephone line.
Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices not
ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas,
the sum of the RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of
the number of devices that may be connected to the line, as
determined by the total RENs, contact the telephone company to
determine the maximum RENs for the calling area.
4. If the Model 3830 modem causes harm to the telephone network,
the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary
discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice is
not practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as
soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.
5. The telephone company may make changes in its facilities,
equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the
operation of the equipment. If this happens, the telephone
company will provide advance notice in order for you to make the
necessary modifications in order to maintain uninterrupted service.
