Appendix C: Regulatory Information
FCC Part 68 Telecommunications Statement
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has established Rules which permit this device to be directly connected to the telephone net- work. This device is registered with the Federal Communications Com- mission (FCC) for direct connection to the telephone line using a stan- dardized RJ11C telephone jack. This device complies with the Part 15, Subpart B, and Part 68 requirements of the FCC rules.
The telephone company may make changes in its technical operations and procedures; if such changes affect the compatibility or use of the device, the telephone company is required to give adequate notice of the changes.
If the telephone company requests information on what equipment is connected to the line, inform them of:
1.The telephone number that this unit is connected to,
2.The ringer equivalence number,
3.The USOC jack required
4.The FCC Registration Number.
Items (2) and (4) are indicated on the label attached to the underside of the faxmodem. The ringer equivalence number is used to determine how many devices can be connected to your telephone line. In most cases, the sum of the RENs of all devices on any one line should not exceed five (5.0). If too many devices are attached, they may not ring properly.
If this device should malfunction, it may also cause harm to the tele- phone network. Should this occur, this device should be disconnected from the network until the source of the problem can be determined and repair has been made. If a device which harms the network is not re- moved, the telephone company may temporarily disconnect service.
In the event of equipment malfunction, all repairs should be performed at an authorized repair facility. It is the responsibility of users requiring service to report the need for service to such a facility. Service facilities are listed on the product’s warranty flyer.
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 telephone fax machine unless such message clearly con- tains in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page, or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time sent, the identifica- tion of the business, entity, or individual sending the message, and the telephone number of the sending machine. In order to program this in- formation into your fax machine, refer to your faxmodem software documentation for information on enabling fax branding.
