Regulatory Information
Declaration of Conformity
This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there
is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful 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.
❑Increase the separation between the equipment
and the receiver.
❑Connect the equipment to 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.
You are cautioned that any changes or modifications to
the computer not expressly approved in this manual
could void your authority to operate this equipment.
Only peripherals (computer input/output devices,
terminals, printers, etc.) that comply with FCC Class B
limits may be attached to this computer product.
Operation with non-compliant peripherals is likely to
result in interference to radio and television reception.
All cables used to connect peripherals must be
shielded and grounded. Operation with cables
connected to peripherals that are not shielded and
grounded may result in interference to radio and
television reception.
FCC Part 68
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
information must be provided to the telephone
company.
This modem uses the USOC RJ11C telephone jack.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices
which may be connected to the telephone line.
Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in
the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call.
In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs should
not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of
devices that may be connected to the line, as
determined by the total RENs, contact the telephone
company to determine the maximum REN for the
calling area. 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 equipment causes harm to the telephone
network, the telephone company will notify you in
advance that temporary discontinuance of service may
be required. 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 operations of the equipment. If this
happens, the telephone company will provide advance
notice in order for you to make the necessary
modifications in order to maintain uninterrupted
service.

FCC Radio Frequency Exposure
(United States)
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are
associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however,
that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless
devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range
while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by
heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce heating effects
causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures
have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some
biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by
additional research. PCG-1H1L has been tested and found to comply with FCC
radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled equipment and meets the
FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65. The
maximum SAR levels tested for PCG-1H1L has been show to be 0.994 W/kg at
Body.
This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating with any other
antenna or transmitter except Grant condition. Users are not permitted to modify
this transmitter device. Any unauthorized change made to this device could void
your authority to operate this device.
IC RSS-210 (Canada)
(FOR MODELS WITH WIRELESS LAN) Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
To prevent radio interference to the licensed service,
this device is intended to be operated indoors and
away from windows to provide maximum shielding.
Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that is installed
outdoors is subject to licensing.
The term “IC:” before the certification/registration
number only signifies that the Industry Canada
technical specifications were met.
(POUR LES MODÈLES AVEZ RESEAU DE
CONNEXIONS LOCAL SANS FIL) L’utilisation de
ce dispositif est autorisée seulement aux conditions
suivantes: (1) il ne doit pas produire de brouillage et
(2) l’utilisateur du dispositif doit être prêt à accepter
tout brouillage radioélectrique reçu, même si ce
brouillage est susceptible de compromettre le
fonctionnement du dispositif.
Pour empêcher que cet appareil cause du brouillage au
service faisant l’objet d’une licence, il doit être utilisé
à l’interieur et devrait être placé loin des fenêtres afin
de fournir un écran de blindage maximal. Si le matériel
(ou son antenne d’émission) est installé a l’exterieur, il
doit faire l’objet d’une licence.
L’expression “IC:” avant le numéro
d’homologation/enregistrement signifie seulement que
les spécifications techniques d’Industrie Canada ont
été respectées.
Telephone Consumer
Protection Act of 1991
(United States)
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991
makes it unlawful for any person to use a computer or
other electronic device, including fax machines, to
send any message 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, other entity, or
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.)
