Modem warning notice for Australia

Modems connected to the Australian telecoms network must have a valid Austel
permit. This modem has been designed to specifically configure to ensure com-
pliance with Austel standards when the country/region selection is set to Austra-
lia. The use of other country/region setting while the modem is attached to the
Australian PSTN would result in you modem being operated in a non-compliant
manner. To verify that the country/region is correctly set, enter the command ATI
which displays the currently active setting.
To set the country/region permanently to Australia, enter the following command
sequence:
AT%TE=1
ATS133=1
AT& F
AT& W
AT%TE=0
ATZ
Failure to set the modem to the Australia country/region setting as shown above
will result in the modem being operated in a non-compliant manner. Conse-
quently, there would be no permit in force for this equipment and the Telecoms
Act 1991 prescribes a penalty of $12,000 for the connection of non-permitted
equipment.

Notes for use of this device in New Zealand

❑The grant of a Telepermit for a device in no way indicates Telecom accep-
tance of responsibility for the correct operation of that device under all oper-
ating conditions. In particular the higher speeds at which this modem is
capable of operating depend on a specific network implementation which is
only one of many ways of delivering high quality voice telephony to cus-
tomers. Failure to operate should not be reported as a fault to Telecom.
❑In addition to satisfactory line conditions a modem can only work properly
if:
(a) it is compatible with the modem at the other end of the call and
(b) the application using the modem is compatible with the application at
the other end of the call - e.g., accessing the Internet requires suitable
software in addition to a modem.
❑This equipment shall not be used in any manner which could constitute a
nuisance to other Telecom customers.
