The United States Federal Communication Commission 
(FCC) and the Canadian Department of Communications 
have established certain rules governing the use of modems 
and other electronic equipment. 
FCC Part 68 Registration
This high speed USB 56K FAX/MODEM complies with 
FCC Part 68 rules, and the use of this modem is subject to the 
following restrictions: 
1. The FCC has established rules which permit this device to
be directly connected to the telephone
network.
Standardized jacks are used for these
connections.
This equipment should not be used on party lines
or
coin phones.
2. If this device is malfunctioning, it may also be causing
harm to the telephone network; this device should be 
disconnected until the source of the problem can be 
determined and until repair has been made. If this is not 
done, the telephone company may temporarily disconnect 
service. 
3. The telephone company may make changes in it's facilities,
equipment, operation and procedures; if such changes 
affect the compatibility or use of this device, the telephone 
company is required to give adequate notice of the 
situation with the FCC. 
4. If the telephone company requests information on what
equipment is connected to their lines, inform them of:

b. The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN).
c. The USOC jack required.
d. The FCC Registration number.
Items (b) and (d) are indicated on the label. The Ringer 
Equivalence Number (REN) is used to determine how many 
devices can be connected to your telephone line. In most 
areas, the sum of the REN's of all the devices on any one line 
should not exceed 5.0. If too many devices are attached, they 
may not ring properly.
