New Zealand Telecom Warning Notice
1. The grant of a Telepermit for any item of terminal equipment indicates only that Telecom has accepted
that the item complies with minimum conditions for connection to its network. It indicates no
endorsement of the product by Telecom, nor does it provide any sort of warranty. Above all, it provides
no assurance that any item will work correctly in all respects with another item of Telepermitted
equipment of a different make or model, nor does it imply that any product is compatible with all of
Telecom’s network services.
This equipment is not capable under all operating conditions of correct operating conditions of correct
operation at the higher speed which it is designated. 33.6 kbps and 56 kbps connections are likely to
be restricted to lower bit rates when connected to some PSTN implementations. Telecom will accept no
responsibility should difficulties arise in such circumstances.
2. Immediately disconnect this equipment should it become physically damaged, and arrange for its
disposal or repair.
3. This modem shall not be used in any manner which could constitute a nuisance to other Telecom
customers.
4. This device is equipped with pulse dialing, while the Telecom standard is DTMF tone dialing. There is
no guarantee that Telecom lines will always continue to support pulse dialing.
Use of pulse dialing, when this equipment is connected to the same line as other equipment, may give
rise to 'bell tinkle' or noise and may also cause a false answer condition. Should such problems occur,
the user should NOT contact the Telecom Faults Service.
The preferred method of dialing is to use DTMF tones, as this is faster than pulse (decadic) dialing and
is readily available on almost all New Zealand telephone exchanges.
5. Warning Notice: No '111' or other calls can be made from this device during a mains power failure.
6. This equipment may not provide for the effective hand-over of a call to another device connected to the
same line.
7. Some parameters required for compliance with Telecom’s Telepermit requirements are dependent on
the equipment (PC) associated with this device. The associated equipment shall be set to operate
within the following limits for compliance with Telecom’s Specifications:
For repeat calls to the same number:
•
There shall be no more than 10 call attempts to the same number within any 30 minute period
for any single manual call initiation, and
•
The equipment shall go on-hook for a period of not less than 30 seconds between the end of
one attempt and the beginning of the next attempt.
For automatic calls to different numbers:
•
The equipment shall be set to ensure that automatic calls to different numbers are spaced
such that there is no less than 5 seconds between the end of one call attempt and the
beginning of another.
8. For correct operation, total of the RN’s of all devices connected to a single line at any time should not
exceed 5.
South African Statement
This modem must be used in conjunction with an approved surge protection device.
