Apple Macintosh PowerBook Internal Modem/Ethernet - Manual (Page 22)

VCCI Class 2 statement
Notify your telephone company
Some telephone companies require that you notify the local business office when you hook up a
modem to their lines.
Information you need in the United States
The PowerBook G3 Internal Modem complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the back of
this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC registration number
and ringer equivalence number (REN). If requested, provide this information to your telephone
company.
m Ringer equivalence number (REN): 0.7B
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your telephone
lines and still have all those devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most, but
not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line should not exceed five
(5.0). To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line, as determined by
the REN, you should contact your local telephone company to determine the maximum REN
for your calling area.
m Telephone jack type: USOC, RJ-11
An FCC-compliant telephone cord and modular plug are provided with this equipment.
This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring
using a compatible modular jack that complies with Part 68 rules. See the installation
instructions for details.
Telephone line problems
If your telephone doesn’t work, there may be a problem with your telephone line. Disconnect
the modem to see if the problem goes away. If it doesn’t, report the problem either to your local
telephone company or to your company’s telecommunications people.
If disconnecting the modem eliminates the problem, the modem itself may need service. But
first check the cord connecting the telephone line to the modem. Make certain that the cord is
the single-line, two-wire cord (supplied with your computer). If the problem persists, see the
service and support information that came with your Apple product for instructions on how to
contact Apple or an Apple-authorized service provider for assistance.
If you do not disconnect your modem when it is adversely affecting the telephone line, the
telephone company has the right to disconnect your service temporarily until you correct the
problem. The telephone company will notify you as soon as possible. Also, you will be
informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
