Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Telephone
Company Requirements (Part 68 of the FCC Rules)

1. The 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, and an identification of the business or other entity, or other
individual sending the message and the telephone number of the sending machine
or such business, other entity, or individual.

In order to program this information into your computer, you should be sure to
follow the installation instructions for your fax software package.

2. The built-in modem is built into the ThinkPad computer. It complies with Part 68

of the FCC Rules. A label is affixed to the bottom of the computer that contains,
among other things, the FCC registration number, USOC, and Ringer Equivalency
Number (REN) for this equipment. If these numbers are requested, look at the
label and provide this information to your telephone company.

3. The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your

telephone line and still have those devices ring when your number is called. In
most, but not all, areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices should not exceed five
(5.0). To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line, as
determined by the REN, you should call your local telephone company to
determine the maximum REN for your calling area.

4. If the built-in modem 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 isn't practical, you will be notified as soon as
possible. You will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.

5. Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment,

operations, or procedures that could affect the proper operation of your equipment.
If they do, you will be given advance notice so as to give you an opportunity to
maintain uninterrupted service.

6. If you experience trouble with this built-in modem, contact your IBM Authorized

Seller, or the IBM Corporation, 500 Columbus Avenue, Thornwood, NY 10594,
1-800-772-2227, for repair/warranty information. The telephone company may ask
you to disconnect this equipment from the network until the problem has been
corrected, or until you are sure the equipment is not malfunctioning.

7. No customer repairs are possible to the modem. If you experience trouble with

this equipment, contact your Authorized Seller or the IBM Corporation for
information.

8. The modem may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company.

Connection to party lines is subject to state tariffs. Contact your state public utility
commission or corporation commission for information.

9. When ordering network interface (NI) service from the Local Exchange Carrier,

specify service arrangement USOC RJ11C.
