equipment among other information. If requested,
the user must provide their telephone company
with the following information:
1. The  telephone  number  to  which  the
notebook is connected.
2. The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for
this equipment.
3. That  the  equipment  requires  a  standard
modular jack type USOC RJ-11C which is
FCC Part 68 compliant.
4. The FCC Registration Number.
This equipment is designed to be connected to
the telephone network or premises wiring using
a  standard  modular  jack  type  USOC  RJ-11C
which is FCC Part 68 compliant and a line cord
between the modem and the telephone network
with a minimum of 26AWG.
The  REN  is  used  to  determine  the  number  of
devices that you may connect to your telephone
line and still have all of those devices ring when
your number is called. Too many devices on one
line may result in failure to ring in response to an
incoming call. In most, but not all, areas the sum
of  the  RENs  of  all  of  the  devices  should  not
exceed five (5). To be certain of the number of
devices  you  may  connect  to  your  line,  as
determined  by  the  RENs,  contact  your  local
telephone company.
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone
network,  your  telephone  company  may
discontinue your service temporarily. If possible,
they will notify you in advance. If advance notice
is  not  practical  they  will  notify  you  as  soon  as
possible. You will also be advised of your right to
file a complaint with the FCC.
This fax modem also complies with fax branding
requirements per FCC Part 68.
Your telephone company will probably ask you
to disconnect this equipment from the telephone
network until the problem is corrected and you
are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning.
Changes or modification not expressly
approved  by  Fujitsu  could  void  this
user’s  authority  to  operate  the
equipment.

EQUIPMENT  WITH  A  TELECOMMUNICA-
TIONS COMPLIANCE LABEL. THIS INCLUDES
CUSTOMER  EQUIPMENT  PREVIOUSLY  LA-
BELLED PERMITTED OR CERTIFIED.
to 
Connection  of  Non  Certified/Approved
peripherals  may  result  in  the  equipment
operating  outside  the  Australian  EMI
Standards.
Modems  connected 
the  Australian
telecommunications network must be operated
in  accordance  with  the  Labelling  Notice. This
modem  has  been  specifically  configured  to
ensure compliance with the ACA Standards. Do
not adjust your modem or software outside the
values indicated below. To do so would result in
your modem being operated in a non-compliant
manner.
Call Attempts/Retries:
Applications software shall be configured so that
no more than 3 attempts are made to establish a
connection to a given number (Note: if the modem
can detect service tones, up to 10 attempts can
be made). If the call sequence is unsuccessful,
there  shall  be  a  delay  of  at  least  30  minutes
before attempting to call the number again.
Failure  to  set  the  modem  and  any  application
software  used  with  the  modem,  to  the  values
shown  above  will  result  in  the  modem  being
operated 
in  a  non-compliant  manner.
Consequently, this would be in violation of the
Labelling  Notice  for  this  equipment  and  the
Telecommunications  Act  1997  prescribes
penalties  for  the  connection  of  non-compliant
equipment.
