Telecommunications Device Approvals
The telecommunications device in your computer is approved
for connection to the telephone network in the countries whose
approval markings are indicated on the product label located on
the bottom of the computer or on the modem.
Refer to the documentation included with the product to ensure
the product is configured for the country in which it is located.
Selecting a country other than the one in which it is located may
cause your modem to be configured in a way that violates the
telecommunication regulations/laws of that country. In addition,
your modem may not function properly if the correct country
selection is not made. If, when selecting a country, a message
appears that states that the country is not supported, this means
that the modem has not been approved for use in this country and
thus should not be used.
U.S. Modem Statements
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules and
the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the bottom of the
computer or on the modem is a label that contains, among
other information, a product identifier in the format
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this information must
be provided to the telephone company.
Applicable certification jack USOC = RJ11C. A plug and jack
used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and
telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68
rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant
telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It
is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is
also compliant. See installation instructions 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). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown
on the label.
If this HP equipment 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
isn’t practical, the telephone company will notify you as soon as
possible. Also, you will also be advised of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.
The telephone company may make changes to 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 telephone
service.
If trouble is experienced with this HP equipment, refer to the
printed Worldwide Telephone Numbers booklet included with
your computer for information about obtaining customer support.
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. You should perform
repairs only to the equipment specifically discussed in the
“Troubleshooting” section of the user guide, if one is provided.
Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact
the state public utility commission, public service commission, or
corporation commission for information.

the date and time it is sent and an identification of the business,
other entity, or other individual sending the message and the
telephone number of the sending machine or such business, other
entity, or individual. (The telephone number provided may not be
a 900 number or any other number for which charges exceed local
or long-distance transmission charges.)
In order to program this information into your fax machine, you
should complete the steps outlined in the faxing software
instructions.

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 speeds for which it is designed.
Telecom will accept no responsibility should difficulties arise in
such circumstances.
If this device is equipped with pulse dialing, note that 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.
This equipment may not provide for the effective hand-over of a
call to another device connected to the same line.
Some parameters required for compliance with Telecom’s
Telepermit requirements are dependent on the equipment (PC)
associated with this device. The associated equipment shall be set
to operate within the following limits for compliance with
Telecom’s Specifications:
a. There shall be no more than 10 call attempts to the same
number within any 30-minute period for any single
manual call initiation.
b. The equipment shall go on-hook for a period of not less
than 30 seconds between the end of one attempt and the
beginning of the next attempt.

Privacy Act 1993 shall be complied with in respect to the nature
of the personal information collected, the purpose for its
collection, how it is to be used, and what is disclosed to any
other party.
This equipment shall not be set to make automatic calls to the
Telecom ‘111’ Emergency Service.

Electrostatic Discharge
A discharge of static electricity from fingers or other electrostatic
conductors may damage electronic components. Before handling
electrostatic-sensitive components, discharge static electricity by
using one of the methods described in this chapter.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
Handling Drives
Before handling a drive, discharge static electricity by touching
an exterior unpainted metal surface of a device that is connected
to an electrical outlet by a grounding plug.
Do not touch the connector pins on a drive or the computer.
Handling Internal Components
When you are removing or installing internal components, use the
following precautions:
■Keep components in their electrostatic-safe containers until
you are ready to install them.
■Have everything needed for the installation within reach so
that you do not need to leave the area after beginning the
procedure.
■Use nonmagnetic tools.

Electrostatic Discharge
■Before touching an electronic component, discharge static
electricity by using one of the grounding methods described
later in this chapter. If you must leave the area during the
procedure, remember to reground yourself before resuming
the procedure.
■Avoid touching pins, leads, and circuitry. Handle electronic
components as little as possible.
■If you remove a component, place it in an electrostatic-safe
container.
Grounding Methods
If removal or installation instructions direct you to unplug the
computer, unplug it after being properly grounded and before
removing a cover. Use one or both of the following grounding
methods:
■Touch an exterior unpainted metal surface of a device that is
connected to an electrical outlet by a grounding plug.
■Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to the computer
chassis. Wrist straps are flexible grounding straps with
a minimum of one megohm ±10 percent resistance in the
ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear the strap
snugly against the skin.
If you need more information about static electricity or assistance
with component removal or installation, refer to the Worldwide
Telephone Numbers booklet included with your product for
customer support information.
