Mercury Warning

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 clearly contains, in a margin at the top or bottom of each
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.
Refer to your fax communication software documentation for details on how to comply
with the fax-branding requirement.
