Declaration of Conformity

FCC STATEMENT (USA Only)

The United States Federal Communications Commission has specified that the following notice be brought to the attention of users of this product:

NOTE: 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 harmful interference 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 harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Hewlett-Packard's system verification tests were conducted with HP-supported peripheral devices and HP shielded cables, such as those you receive with your computer. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Hewlett-Packard could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. Cables used with this device must be properly shielded to comply with the requirements of the FCC.

FCC Regulations for Telephone Line Interconnection

  • This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the outside surface of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC registration, the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN). If requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company.

  • This equipment uses the following Universal Service Code (USOC) jacks: RJ11C or RJ11W (single line).

  • The REN is used to determine the quality of devices which may be connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to the line, as determined by total RENs, contact the telephone company to determine the maximum REN for the calling area.

  • If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will, where practicable, notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. If advance notice isn't practical, the telephone company will notify the customer 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 the necessary modifications in order to maintain uninterrupted service.

  • If trouble is experienced with this equipment, please contact: Hewlett-Packard Company, Response Center, 20 Perimeter Summit Boulevard, Atlanta, GA 30319 U.S.A. 1 (800) 633-3600 (Toll Free - North America Only) or 1 (404) 648-0000 (Main Number)

    for repair and/or warranty information. If the trouble is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that you remove the equipment from the network until the problem is resolved.

  • No repairs are to be made by you. Repairs are to be made only by Hewlett-Packard or its licensees. Unauthorized repairs void registration and warranty.

  • This equipment cannot be used on telephone company-provided coin service. 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 so required, this equipment is hearing-aid compatible.

UK General Approval (United Kingdom only)

Pursuant to Section 22 of Telecommunications Act of 1984, this product is approved for indirect connection to Public Telecommunications systems within the United Kingdom under the General Approval number NS/G/1234/J/100003.

Internal Modem and HP A2991-600xx Line Access Module (LAM)

The following warnings apply to the use of the HP 2991-60001 internal modem and HP A2991-600xx LAM that may be provided with the computer.

Terminal DOC (Canada only)

NOTE: The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunication network protective operational and safety requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.

Before installing this 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 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 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.

The Load Number (LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the percentage of total load to be connected to a telephone 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 product is 33.

CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

National Post and Telecom Agency Statement (Sweden only)

The LAM Interface shall be connected to SELV (max.42.4 V peak, or 60 V DC) according to EN 60950. (The internal modem complies with this requirement.)

AUSTEL Telecom Statement (Australia only)

When setting the number of automatic redials for the modem, ensure the following:

The number of automatic redials that the modem performs should be limited to a maximum of 9 redials plus the original call. If the above retries are unsuccessful, no further attempts should be made to the same number for a minimum period of 5 minutes.

CAUTION: Failure to set the modem, and any communication software used with the modem to the values contained in the listing will result in the modem being operated in a non-compliant manner. Consequently, there would be no permit in force for this equipment, and the Telecommunications Act 1991 prescribes a penalty of A$12,000 for the connection of non-permitted equipment.

Australian C-Tick Label

New Zealand and Telecom Statement (New Zealand only)

When using an application software that allows the setting of automatic redialing, the following guidelines should be followed:

  • Not more than five call attempts to the same number within a one hour period.

  • A minimum of 60 seconds between each attempt.

  • Not more than a total of 10 call attempts to the same number.

Any setting that violates the above guidelines will cause the equipment to go out of compliance, and thus no Telepermit will be in force for this equipment which will make it subject to penalties.

The operation of this equipment on the same line as telephones or other equipment with audible warning devices or automatic ring detectors will give rise to bell tinkle or noise and may cause false tripping of the ring detector. Should such problems occur, the user is not to contact Telecom Faults Service.
