Canadian Limitations Notice
Notice: The ringer equivalence number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication of the maximum
number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface may consist of
any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the ringer equivalence numbers of all the
devices does not exceed 5.
Notice: The Industry Canada label identifies certificated equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets
certain telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements. The Industry Canada label 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. 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 to this equipment or equipment malfunctions 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.
International Modem Restrictions
Some dialing and answering defaults and restrictions may vary for international modems. Changing settings may cause
a modem to become non-compliant with national telecom requirements in specific countries. Also note that some
software packages may have features or lack restrictions that may cause the modem to become non-compliant.
EMC, Safety, and R&TTE Directive Compliance
The CE mark is affixed to this product to confirm compliance with the following European Community Directives:
Council Directive 89/336/EEC of 3 May 1989 on the approximation of the laws of Member States relating
to electromagnetic compatibility;
and
Council Directive 73/23/EEC of 19 February 1973 on the harmonization of the laws of Member States
relating to electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits;
and
Council Directive 1999/5/EC of 9 March on radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment
and the mutual recognition of their conformity.
New Zealand Telecom Warning Notice
1. The grant of a Telepermit for any item of terminal equipment indicates only that Telecom has accepted that the
item complies with minimum conditions for connection to its network. It indicates no endorsement of the product by
Telecom, nor does it provide any sort of warranty. Above all, it provides no assurance that any item will work
correctly in all respects with another item of Telepermitted equipment of a different make or model, nor does it
imply that any product is compatible with all of Telecom’s network services.
This equipment is not capable under all operating conditions of correct operation at the higher speed which it is
designated. 33.6 kbps and 56 kbps connections are likely to be restricted to lower bit rates when connected to
some PSTN implementations. Telecom will accept no responsibility should difficulties arise in such circumstances.
2. Immediately disconnect this equipment should it become physically damaged, and arrange for its disposal or
repair.
3. This modem shall not be used in any manner which could constitute a nuisance to other Telecom customers.
4. This device is equipped with pulse dialing, while the Telecom standard is DTMF tone dialing. There is no
guarantee that Telecom lines will always continue to support pulse dialing.
Use of pulse dialing, when this equipment is connected to the same line as other equipment, may give rise to ‘bell
tinkle’ or noise and may also cause a false answer condition. Should such problems occur, the user should not
contact the Telecom Faults Service.
The preferred method of dialing is to use DTMF tones, as this is faster than pulse (decadic) dialing and is readily
available on almost all New Zealand telephone exchanges.
5. Warning Notice: No ‘111’ or other calls can be made from this device during a mains power failure.
6. This equipment may not provide for the effective hand-over of a call to another device connected to the same
line.
