About the Modem
This equipment complies with Part 68 of FCC rules. On the bottom of this equipment
is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and
ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, this information
must be provided to the telephone company.
The modem jack of this equipment complies with Sub-part F of Part 68 of FCC rules.
The REN is used to determine the quantity 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 areas.
If the terminal 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 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 necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in 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 the
necessary modifications in order to maintain uninterrupted service.
If trouble is experienced with this equipment, please contact Sharp Electronics Corp.
for repair and (or) warranty information (Refer to the provided Consumer Limited
Waranty). If the trouble is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone
company may request you remove the equipment from the network until the problem
is resolved.
The equipment cannot be used on public coin service provided by the telephone
company. Connection to Party Line Service is subject to state tariffs. (Contact the
state public utility commission, public service commission or corporation commission
for information.)
