Government Requirements
Certain governments require that instructions pertaining to connection to the telephone
network be included in the user documentation. Specific instructions listed in the
following sections pertain to the unit's modem, Model 9008-F1-100.
United States
Notice to Users of the Telephone Network
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the modem's rear panel is a
label or silkscreened text that contains, among other information, the FCC registration
number for this equipment and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). If requested,
please provide this information to your telephone company.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to the
telephone line. Excessive RENs on the line may result in the devices not ringing in
response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not
exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that can be connected to the
line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company.
If your unit causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may
discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance. But if
advance notice is not practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will be
advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
Your telephone company may make changes in facilities, equipment, operations, or
procedures that could affect the proper operation of your equipment. If so, you will be
given advance notice so as to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service.
No repairs may be performed by the user. Should you experience difficulty with this
equipment, refer to the
Warranty, Sales, Service, and Training Information
on page 27.
Make the modem connection using a USOC-type RJ11C jack. The modem cannot be
used on public coin phone service provided by the telephone company. Connection to
party-line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission,
public service commission, or corporation commission for tariff information.
After the telephone company has installed the requested services and jacks, you can
connect the unit with the cable provided. An FCC compliant telephone cord and modular
plug are provided with this equipment. This equipment is designed to be connected to
the telephone network or premises wiring using a compatible modular jack that is Part
68 compliant.
