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

The PowerBook G3 Internal Modem will not work with party lines, cannot be connected to a
coin-operated telephone, and may not work with a private branch exchange (PBX).

Telephone Consumer Protection Act

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 was sent and an identification of the
business or other identity, or other individual sending the message and the telephone number of
the sending machine of such business, entity, or individual.

Information you need in Canada

The Canadian Department of Communications (DOC) label identifies certified equipment. This
certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective,
operational, and safety requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will
operate to a user’s satisfaction.

Before installing this equipment, make sure that you are permitted to connect to the facilities of
the local telecommunications company. Be sure you use an acceptable method of connection to
install the equipment. In some cases, you may extend the company’s internal wiring for single-
line individual service by means of a certified telephone extension cord. Be aware, however,
that compliance with these conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some
situations.

Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility
designated by the supplier. Any equipment malfunctions or repairs or alterations that you make
to this equipment may cause the telecommunications company to request that you disconnect
the equipment.

Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power
utility, telephone lines, and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected
together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.

WARNING

Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the

appropriate electric inspection authority or electrician.
