FCC Certification
Part 15, Class B
FCC ID: MQ4USB10TA
The United States Federal Communication
Commission (FCC) and the Canadian
Department of Communications have
established certain rules governing the use of
modems and other electronic equipment.
FCC Part 15 Registration
This modem complies with Part 15 of FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following two

conditions:
1) This device may not cause harmful interface,
and
2) this device must accept any interface
received, including interface 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 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 distance between the
equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.

Now you can experience a true plug-and-play
Network device easier than ever. The USB
(Universal Serial Bus) Network Adapter allows
you to connect a 10Mbps network from an
USB-enabled PC, notebook, or USB HUB.
With instant hardware recognition from
Windows 98 and “Hot Swap” feature from USB
specification, you don’t need to be a MIS
specialist to operate it. Just simply hook up the
USB cable at one end and plug a standard twist
pair (RJ45) network cable in the other end, and
you will be networked within no time!
