Notice to Users of the US Telephone Network
The LifeBook™700 Series notebook computers are
supplied with an internal modem which complies
with Part 68 of the FCC rules.On this notebook is
a label that contains the FCC Registration Number
and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this
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

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 FCCPart 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 telephoneline 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. Inmost,
but not all,areas the sum of the RENs of all of the
devices should notexceed five (5.0). To be certain of
the number of devicesyou may connectto your line,
as determined by the RENs, contact your local
telephone company.
