Telecommunication Notice
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and
Telephone Company Requirements (Part 68 of the FCC
Rules)
1.
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for
any person to use a computer or other electronic device to send any
message via a telephone fax machine 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, and an
identification of the business or other entity, or other individual sending
the message and the telephone number of the sending machine or such
business, other entity, or individual.
In order to program this information into your computer, you should be
sure to follow the installation instructions for your fax software package.
2.
The built-in modem is built into the ThinkPad computer. It complies with
Part 68 of the FCC Rules. A label is affixed to the bottom of the
computer that contains, among other things, the FCC registration
number, USOC, and Ringer Equivalency Number (REN) for this
equipment. If these numbers are requested, look at the label and
provide this information to your telephone company.
3.
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect
to your telephone line and still have those devices ring when your
number is called. In most, but not all, areas, the sum of the RENs of all
devices should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of
devices you may connect to your line, as determined by the REN, you
should call your local telephone company to determine the maximum
REN for your calling area.
4.
If the built-in modem 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 isn't
practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will be advised of
your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
5.
Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment,
operations, or procedures that could affect the proper operation of your
equipment. If they do, you will be given advance notice so as to give
you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service.
6.

Authorized Seller, or the IBM Corporation, 500 Columbus Avenue,
Thornwood, NY 10594, 1-800-772-2227, for repair/warranty information.
