COMPAQ CONFIDENTIAL - NEED TO KNOW REQUIRED
U.S. Regulations Governing
the Use of Modems
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. Located on the bottom
of the computer is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC
Registration Number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this
equipment. Upon request, you must provide this information to your telephone
company.
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your
telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your telephone
number is called. In most areas (but not all), the sum of the RENs of all devices
connected to one line should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number
of devices you may connect to your telephone line, as determined by the REN,
you should contact your local telephone company to determine the maximum
REN for your calling area.
The REN for this device does not exceed 1.0.
If your telephone equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the
telephone company may discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they
will notify you in advance. But, if advance notice is not practical, you will be
notified as soon as possible. You will also be informed of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC.
Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment,
operations, or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of your
equipment. If they do, you will be notified in advance to give you an
opportunity to maintain uninterrupted telephone service.
An FCC-compliant, 6-position (RJ11C), modular plug telephone cable is
provided with this equipment. This equipment is designed to be connected to the
telephone network or premises wiring using a compatible 6-position modular
jack which is FCC Part 68-compliant.
If you experience trouble with this telephone equipment, contact your local
telephone company for information on obtaining service or repairs. The
telephone company may ask that you disconnect this equipment from the
network until the problem has been corrected or until you are sure that the
equipment is not malfunctioning.
