FCC Requirements
The following information is pursuant to FCC CFR 47, Part 68 and refers
to internal modems.
Installation
When you are ready to install or use the modem, call your local telephone
company and give them the following information:
❖The telephone number of the line to which you will connect the
modem.
❖The FCC registration number of the modem.
❖The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) of the modem, which is 0.6B.
The modem connects to the telephone line by means of a standard jack
called the USOC RJ11C.
Type of Service
Your modem is designed to be used on standard-device telephone lines.
Connection to telephone company-provided coin service (central office
implemented systems) is prohibited. Connection to party lines service is
subject to State tariffs. If you have any questions about your telephone line,
such as how many pieces of equipment you can connect to it, the telephone
company will provide this information upon request.
Telephone Company Procedures
The goal of the telephone company is to provide you with the best service it
can. In order to do this, it may occasionally be necessary for them to make
changes in their equipment, operations or procedures. If these changes
might affect your service or the operation of your equipment, the telephone

5
5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.4.0
company will give you notice, in writing, to allow you to make any changes
necessary to maintain uninterrupted service.
If Problems Arise
If any of your telephone equipment is not operating properly, you should
immediately remove it from your telephone line, as it may cause harm to
the telephone network. If the telephone company notes a problem, they
may temporarily discontinue service. When practical, they will notify you
in advance of this disconnection. If advance notice is not feasible, you will
be notified as soon as possible. When you are notified, you will be given
the opportunity to correct the problem and informed of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC. In the event repairs are ever needed on your
modem, they should be performed by Toshiba Corporation, Toshiba
America Information Systems, Inc. or an authorized representative of
Toshiba.
Disconnection
If you should ever decide to permanently disconnect your modem from its
present line, please call the telephone company and let them know of this
change.
Fax Branding
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful to use
a computer or other electronic device to send any message via a telephone
fax machine unless such message clearly contains in a margin at the top or
bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission, the
date and time it is sent and an identification of the business, other entity or
individual sending the message and the telephone number of the sending
machine or such business, other entity or individual.
In order to program this information into your fax modem, you should
complete the setup for your fax software before sending a message.

aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent
degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a
representative designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations
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 electric inspection
authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) and an explanation notice similar
to the following:
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) of this device can be found
on the label affixed to your computer.
NOTICE: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each
terminal device provides an indication of the maximum number of
terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The
termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices
subject only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence
Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.

equipment is jack type(s): USOC RJ11C.
Wireless Interoperability
The Toshiba Wireless LAN Mini PCI Card products are designed to be
interoperable with any wireless LAN product that is based on Direct
Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) radio technology, and is compliant to:
❖The IEEE 802.11 Standard on Wireless LANs (Revision B), as
defined and approved by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers.
❖The Wireless Fidelity (Wi-FiTM ) certification as defined by the WECA
Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance.

Wireless LAN and your Health
Wireless LAN products, like other radio devices, emit radio frequency
electromagnetic energy. The level of energy emitted by Wireless LAN
devices however is far much less than the electromagnetic energy emitted
by wireless devices like for example mobile phones. Because Wireless
LAN products operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency
safety standards and recommendations, Toshiba believes Wireless LAN is
safe for use by consumers. These standards and recommendations reflect
the consensus of the scientific community and result from deliberations of
panels and committees of scientists who continually review and interpret
the extensive research literature.
In some situations or environments, the use of Wireless LAN may be
restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of
the organization. These situations may for example include:
❖Using the Wireless LAN equipment on board of airplanes, or
❖In any other environment where the risk of interference to other
devices or services is perceived or identified as harmful.
If you are uncertain of the policy that applies on the use of wireless devices
in a specific organization or environment (e.g., airports), you are
encouraged to ask for authorization to use the Wireless LAN device prior to
turning on the equipment.
Regulatory Information
