Regulatory Information

We declare under our sole responsibility that the USRobotics SureConnect ADSL USB Modem, to which this declaration relates, is in conformity with the following standards or other normative documents:

ANSI C63.4-1992 Methods of measurement
Federal Communications Commission 47 CFR Part 15, subpart B
1) 15.107 (e) Class B Conducted Limits
2) 15.109 (g) Class B Radiated Emissions Limits

FCC Class B Statement
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

• this device may not cause harmful electromagnetic interference, and
• this device must accept any interference received including interference that may cause undesired operations.
  

Radio and Television Interference
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna or cable input device.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

The user may find the following information prepared by the Federal Communications Commission helpful:

Telephone Interference Bulletin.
This document is available on the Internet through the FCC Consumer Information Bureau Home Page at http://www.fcc.gov/cib. Under Consumer Information Directory>Telephone>Miscellaneous Telephone Information, select Interference to Telephones.

Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
In order to maintain compliance with the limits of a Class B digital device, USRobotics requires that you use a quality interface cable when connecting to this device. Suggested cable type is 90 ohm USB cable for the USB port, and standard telephone cable for the RJ-11 port, 26 AWG.

UL Listing/C-UL Listing
This information technology equipment is UL Listed and C-UL Listed for the uses described in this User's Guide.

FCC Part 68 Registration
Customer Information
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the bottom of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US: AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company.
This equipment uses the following Universal Service Order Code (USOC) jacks: RJ-11.

A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premise's wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See this document for details.

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US: AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3).

If this equipment, USRobotics USB Modem, causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice is not practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.

The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.

If trouble is experienced with this equipment, for repair or warranty information, please contact:

USR - Walnut
528 Spanish Lane

If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved.

There are no serviceable parts in this equipment.

If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of this equipment does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.

For Canadian Modem Users
Utilisateurs de modems au Canada
Industry Canada (IC)

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus set out in the interference-causing equipment standard entitled Digital Apparatus, ICES-003 of Industry Canada.

Le présent appareil numérique n'émet pas de bruits radio-électriques dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils numériques de la classe B prescrites dens le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique édicté par l'Industrie. NMB-003

AVIS : Le nombre équivalent de sonneries (REN) affecté à chaque terminal indique le nombre maximal de terminaux qui peuvent être branchés à une interface téléphonique. L'équipement terminal d'une interface peut comporter toute combinaison d'appareils, à la condition unique que le nombre équivalent total des sonneries de tous les appareils ne dépasse pas 5. Le nombre équivalent des sonneries se trouve sur la base du modem.

AVIS : L'étiquette d'Industrie Canada (IC) permet d'identifier le matériel homologué. Cette homologation signifie que le matériel est conforme à certaines normes de protection, d'exploitation et de sécurité des réseaux de télécommunications, comme le prescrivent les documents qui portent sur les exigences techniques relatives à l'équipement terminal. Cependant, le Ministère ne garantit pas que l'appareil fonctionnera à la satisfaction de l'utilisateur.

Avant d'installer ce matériel, l'utilisateur doit s'assurer qu'il est permis de le raccorder aux installations de l'entreprise locale de télécommunication. Le matériel doit également être installé selon une méthode de raccordement autorisée. Dans certains cas, le câblage intérieur de la compagnie étant associé à une ligne individuelle, le service individuel peut être étendu au moyen d'un connecteur certifié (rallonge téléphonique). L'abonné ne doit pas oublier que la conformité aux conditions susmentionnées n'empêchera peut-être pas la dégradation du service dans certains cas. À l'heure actuelle, les compagnies de téléphone n'autorisent pas les utilisateurs à raccorder leur appareil au jack sauf dans des circonstances précises énoncées dans les contrats et tarifs de ces compagnies.

Les réparations de matériel homologué doivent être coordonnées par un représentant désigné par le fournisseur. L'entreprise de télécommunications peut demander à l'utilisateur de débrancher un appareil à la suite de réparations ou de modifications effectuées par l'utilisateur ou à cause d'un mauvais fonctionnement de l'appareil.
