REGULATORY INFORMATION

Connecting to the Telephone Company
It is not necessary to notify the telephone
company before installing the modem.
However, the telephone company may
request the telephone number(s) to which the
Sportster modem is connected and the
declaration of conformity to FCC Parts 15
and Part 68 on the first page of this section.
Be sure that the telephone line you are
connecting the modem to is a standard
analog line and not a digital (PBX), party, or
coin telephone line.
If the modem is malfunctioning, it may affect
the telephone lines. In this case, disconnect
the modem until the source of the difficulty is
traced.
Fax Branding
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of
1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a
computer or other electronic device, including
fax machines, to send any message unless such
message clearly contains in a margin at the top
or bottom of each transmitted page or on the
first page of the transmission, the date and time
it is sent, an identification of the business or
other entity, or other individual sending the
message, and the telephone number of the
sending machine or of such business, other
entity, or individual. (The telephone number
provided may not be a 900 number or any
other number for which charges exceed local
or long-distance transmission charges.)
