European Union Notice
Products with the CE marking complies with Telecommunication Terminal
Equipment and Satellite Earth Station Equipment (TTE & SES) Directive (98/13/
EC), the EMC Directive (89/336/EEC), and the Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC)
issued by the European Community.
Compliance with these directives implies conformity to the following European
Norms or Regulations (the equivalent international standards and regulations are in
brackets):
◆ EN55022 (CISPR 22) – Electromagnetic Interference
◆ N50082-1 (IEC801-2, IEC801-3, IEC801-4) – Electromagnetic Immunity
◆ EN60555-2 (IEC 555-2) – Power Line Harmonics
◆ EN60950 (IEC950) – Product Safety
◆ CTR21 (ETSI TBR21) – Attachment requirements for connection to the
analogue PSTNs of terminal equipment *
*Applies to modems contained in portable products only. Modems provided in
desktop and mini-tower computers are approved to National standards.
The equipment has been approved in accordance with Council Decision 98/482/EC
for pan-European single terminal connection to the Public Switched Telephone
Network (PSTN). However, due to differences between the individual PSTNs
provided in different countries, the approval does not, of itself, give an unconditional
assurance of successful operation on every PSTN network termination point. In the
event of problems, you should contact your equipment supplier in the first instance.
The equipment is designed to work with all EU telephone networks. However, the
equipment may have interworking difficulties for some connections on the EU public
networks. Dialing by loop disconnect pulses is not intended to be used on the PSTN.
This feature is only supported in consideration of PBX or other equipment that
requires pulse dialing. Network compatibility is dependent on software switch
settings that are set automatically by the country selection. The user should contact
the equipment supplier in case of difficulty in network settings.
