(FCC) Regulatory Information

Federal Communications Commission (FCC)— This equipment complies with both Part 15 and Part 68 of the FCC rules.

Part 15 compliance—

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by removing and applying power to the equipment, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

●Reorient or relocate the receiving satellite dish antenna.

●Increase the separation between the equipment and the HD receiver.

●Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dif- ferent from that to which the HD receiver is con- nected.

●Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV techni- cian for help.

The user may find the following booklet, prepared by the Federal Communications Commission, helpful: “How to Identify and Resolve Radio and TV Interference Problems.” This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC.

To meet FCC requirements, only peripherals (computer input/output devices, terminals, printers, etc.) certified to comply with the Class B limits may be attached to this device. Operation with noncertified peripherals is likely to result in interference to radio and TV reception.

To meet FCC requirements, shielded cables are required to connect the device to a personal computer, peripheral, or other Class B certified device.

1)This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the modem card is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC Registration Number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, this information must be provided to the Telephone Company.

The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices which may be connected to the telephone line. An excessive number of REN’s 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 the number of REN’s should not exceed five (5). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to the line, contact the Telephone Company to determine the maximum number of REN’s permitted for the calling area.
