Declaration of Conformity According to FCC Rules Part 2 ,
Paragraph 2.1077
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two 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. Responsible party: Pitney Bowes, 1 Elmcroft
Rd., Stamford, CT 06926-0700.
Note for all models (except DM475): 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 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 instruction manual, may cause interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause 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:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Note for DM475: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against interfer-
ence when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his own expense.
CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this equipment
not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
Shielded I/O and USB cables must be used with this equipment to ensure
compliance with the limits. Use of unshielded cables is prohibited.
Servicing
This equipment is not intended to be serviced by the user. Please refer to the
warranty information if problems occur. Failed units will be returned to the
Pitney Bowes U.S. Service Center. For reference purposes, the Pitney Bowes
U.S. Service Center contact address is: Pitney Bowes Inc., 1 Elmcroft Road,
Stamford, CT, 06926-0700. All inquiries can be done by calling 1-800 522-
0020 and following the telephone prompts. Customer Service Representatives
are available Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM ET.

FCC Part 68 Compliance of the Modem
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements
adopted by the ACTA. On the bottom of this equipment is a label that
contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US:
AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the
telephone company.
This equipment is designed to be connected to a Facility Interface Code
02LS2 network with RJ11C network interface.
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and
telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and
requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular
plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible
modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details.
The ringer equivalence number (REN) is used to determine the number of
devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a
telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming
call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0).
To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as
determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company. The
REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:
AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal
point (for example, these models are 10 which is a REN of 1.0).
If this 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 you as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC if you believe it is 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 necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.
If trouble is experienced with this equipment, please contact Pitney Bowes,
1 Elmcroft Rd., Stamford, CT 06926-0700, for repair or warranty information
(also see Servicing section on previous page). If the equipment is causing
harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that
you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved. This equipment
is not intended to be repaired by the customer (user).
Connection to party-line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the
state public utility commission, public service commission, or corporation
commission for information.
If the installation site has specially wired alarm equipment connected to
the telephone line, ensure the installation of this mailing machine does not
disable the alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable
alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.

SV62261 Rev. C
Postal Requirements
The meter on your mailing machine is licensed by the United States
Postal Service (USPS®) and you must follow some basic requirements.
• Mail must have the correct date and postage amount in the
meter stamp (indicia).
• Metered mail must bear the ZIP Code location of the post office
where the postage meter (mailing machine) is registered.
• If you move to another ZIP Code location, you must update the
ZIP Code by calling our Customer Care Center (see page v).
• The USPS®requires a postal inspection of your machine
every 120 days. This postal inspection requirement can be
automatically met by connecting to the Pitney Bowes Data
Center to check your Postage By Phone®meter payment
account balance or to add postage to your meter.
iNOTE: If the interval between inspections is more than 90
days, your machine's display prompts "Inspection Due." If
the interval between inspections is more than 120 days, the
display prompts "Inspection Required." At this point, you
won't be able to use your mailing system until your system
is inspected. In either case, to satisfy the postal inspection
requirement, simply:
• Follow the prompts on the "Inspection Due" screen or
• Press Refill Postage and select "Check PBP Account
Balance" (which will not decrease or change the funds in
your account).
• Tape strips are used to apply postage on mail pieces that are
too thick or too large to run through your machine. These sheets
must conform to postal specifications. For best performance, we
recommend Pitney Bowes tape strips (see Chapter 14, Supplies
and Options and page vfor ordering information).

About PC Meter Connect™
PC Meter Connect is another high-speed connectivity option that
also eliminates the need for an analog line. Similar to Constant
Connection, PC Meter Connect™enables your meter to connect
directly to your Windows PC and use your PC’s Internet connection
to connect to the Pitney Bowes Data Center for postage refills,
software upgrades and USPS®rate changes..
The PC Meter Connect™software installation CD and a USB cable
are included in your starter kit. You simply load the software into a
PC with an Internet connection (broadband, DSL, network, etc.) and
connect the USB cable between your meter and a Windows PC. See
also Chapter 6, Adding Postage for more information on using PC
Meter Connect™.
Before installing the PC Meter Connect™software, make sure your
PC meets these minimum requirements:
• Windows®Vista (32-bit only), Windows XP, or Windows 2000
operating systems with the latest service packs
• 1.2 GHz processor
• 512 MB of RAM
• administrative rights to install software
• an Internet connection
About Constant Connection
Constant Connection is an option that allows you to connect your
machine to the Pitney Bowes Data Center via a LAN network that
has Internet access. Constant Connection’s high-speed connectivity
eliminates the need for an analog line and provides faster
transmission speed when connecting through your local network.
Internet connection is normally much quicker than using the analog
phone line option to download postage and software updates to your
machine.
To use, plug one end of the Ethernet cable (supplied) to your Internet
LAN network port and the other end to the LAN port (DM475) or the
USB adapter which plugs into the USB port (DM300c/DM400c) on
the back of the machine (see also Chapter 6, Adding Postage).
You may leave this connected on a permanent basis; hence the
name "constant connection".
