FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS
COMMISSION NOTICE
Class B Equipment
FCC ID: A09-LN14X-FX
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following conditions: (1) this device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
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:
n Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
n Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
n Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.
n Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or television
technician for help.

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio
noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the
interference-causing equipment standard entitled "Digital
Apparatus," ICES-003 of the Department of Communications.
Cet appareil numérique respecte les limites de bruits
radioélectriques applicables aux appareils numériques de Classe B
prescrites dans la norme sur le matériel brouilleur : "Appareils
Numériques", NMB-003 édictée par le ministre des

Modifications
The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or
modifications made to this device that are not expressly approved
by Digital Equipment Corporation may void the user's authority to
operate the equipment.
Cables
Connections to this device must be made with shielded cables with
metallic RFI/EMI connector hoods in order to maintain compliance
with FCC Rules and Regulations.
U.S. REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE
USE OF FACSIMILE DEVICES
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. Located
on the Fax board is a label that contains, among other information,
the FCC Registration Number and Ringer Equivalence Number
(REN) for this equipment. Upon request, you must provide this
information to your telephone company.
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may
connect to your telephone line and still have all of 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 telephone line, as determined by
the REN, you should contact your local telephone company to
determine the maximum REN for your calling area. The REN for
this device is 0.8B.

If your telephone equipment causes harm to the telephone network,
the telephone company may discontinue your service temporarily.
If possible, they will notify you in advance. But, if advance notice
is not practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will
also be informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities,
equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the proper
functioning of your equipment. If they do, you will be notified in
advance to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted
telephone service.
If you experience trouble with this telephone equipment, contact
your local telephone company for information on obtaining service
or repairs. The telephone company may ask that you disconnect
this equipment from the network until the problem has been
corrected or until you are sure that the equipment is not
malfunctioning.
CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such
connections themselves, but should contact the
appropriate electrical inspection authority, or electrician,
as appropriate.
This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the
telephone company. Connection to party lines is subject to state
tariffs.

CANADIAN REGULATIONS GOVERNING
THE USE OF FACSIMILE DEVICES
NOTE: The Canadian Department of Communications label
identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the
equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective,
operations, and safety requirements. The Department does not
guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.
Before installing the equipment, users should ensure that it is
permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local
telecommunications company. The equipment must also be
installed using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases,
the company's inside wiring associated with a single line individual
service may be extended by means of a certified connector
assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be
aware that compliance with the above 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
repairs or alternations made by the user to this equipment, or
equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications
company cause to request the user to 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.
CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such
connections themselves, but should contact the
appropriate electrical inspection authority, or electrician,
as appropriate.
The Load Number (LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes
the percentage of the total load to be connected to a terminal loop,
which is used by the device, to prevent overloading. The
termination on a loop may consist of any combination of devices
subject only to the requirement that the total of the Load Numbers
of all devices does not exceed 100.
The Load Number for this device is "4".

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE
A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor
may damage circuit boards or other static-sensitive devices. This
type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device. To
prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:
n Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing parts in
static-safe containers.
n Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until
they arrive at static-free work stations.
n Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them
from their container.
n Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
n Always be properly grounded when touching a static-
sensitive component or assembly.
GROUNDING METHODS
Use one or more of the following grounding methods when
handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:
n Use a flexible wrist strap with a minimum of 1 megohm ±10
percent resistance in the ground cord that is connected to a
grounded workstation or the printer chassis. To provide
a proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.
n Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps on both feet at
standing workstations. Stand on conductive floors or
dissipating floor mats.
n Use conductive field service tools.
n Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-
dissipating work mat.
If you do not have the proper grounding equipment, have an
Authorized Service Provider install the part.
NOTE: For additional information on static electricity, or
assistance with the installation of this product, contact your
Authorized Service Provider.
