FCC Part 68

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States restricts specific uses of

modems, and places registration responsibilities on both the manufacturer and the individual

user.

1

The modem may not be connected to a party line or to a coin-operated telephone.

2

Notification to the telephone company is no longer required prior to connecting

registered equipment, but upon request from the telephone company, the user shall tell

the telephone company which line the equipment is connected to as well as the

registration number and ringer equivalence number of the registered protective circuitry.

FCC information is printed on a label on the bottom of the modem.

IC (Industry Canada) Notice

Notice: The Industry Canada (formerly Canadian Department of Communications) label

identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain

telecommunications network protective, operational, and safety requirements. The

department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to

the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed

using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the company's inside wiring

associated with a single-line individual service may be extended by means of a certified

connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be aware that

compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some

situations.

Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance

facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user may give the

telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment. Users

should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power

utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected

together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.

CAUTION:

Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should

contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as

appropriate.
