in
such
a
manner
that
the
potential
for

as
follows:
Caution:
To

RF
exposure
compliance
requirements,
a

20
cm
(8
inches)
must
be
maintained
between
the
antenna
for
the

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.
This
equipment
complies
with
Part
68
of
the
FCC
rules
and
the
requirements
adopted
by
the
ACTA.
On
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.
3.
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.
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).
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.

The
customer
should
be
aware
that
compliance
with
the
above
conditions
