The Xircom RealPort Ethernet 10/100+Modem 56 model REM56G-100 and CreditCard Ethernet 10/100+Modem 56 model CEM56-100 complies with the FCC Rules for Class B digital devices. As required by FCC Rules and Regulations, the following Class B information is provided for the guidance of the user.

WARNING: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class B digital devices 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 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 the 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.

Changes or modifications to the digital device not expressly approved by Xircom Inc. could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

It is suggested that only shielded and grounded cables be used with the equipment to ensure compliance with FCC rules.

  NOTE: When the Ethernet 10Base-2 (B2) adapter cable supplied with model CEM56-100BC, or as a separately purchased accessory, is connected to the CreditCard Ethernet 10/100+Modem 56, the unit complies with FCC Part 15 Class A requirements for office use. As required by FCC Rules and Regulations, the following information is provided for the guidance of the user.
  WARNING: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class A digital devices pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

### FCC Regulations - Part 68

To comply with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations, Parts 68, these instructions must be followed:

1. Your modem must not be connected to a party line or coin-operated telephone.
2. If a problem occurs on the telephone line, your modem must be disconnected from the telephone line until it has been determined that your modem is not the cause of the problem.
3. All repairs to your modem must be made by Xircom, Inc. Unauthorized or unorthodox repair methods can alter the modem's radio frequency emissions and other characteristics sufficiently to void your authority to operate the modem over a public telephone network.
4. If requested, you must be prepared to provide the telephone company with the following information:

Equipment Manufacturer: Xircom, Inc.
2300 Corporate Center Drive
Thousand Oaks, CA 91320-1420 U.S.A.
Models: REM56G-100, CEM56-100
FCC Registration Number: See the unit.
Ringer Equivalency No.: See the unit.

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. On the back of the unit is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC Registration Number and Ringer Equivalency Number (REN) for this equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone company.

This equipment uses the following USOC jacks: RJ-11, RJ-45.

An FCC compliant telephone cord and modular plug are provided with this equipment. This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using a compatible modular jack which is Part 68 compliant. See installation instructions for details.

The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have all those devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line, as determined by the REN, you should contact your local telephone company to determine the maximum REN for your calling area.

If the Xircom terminal equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance. But if advance notice is not practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will be informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.

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 you experience trouble with this telephone equipment, please contact Xircom, Inc. at (805) 376-9200 for information on obtaining service or repairs. If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request you to disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved.

There are no user serviceable parts contained in this equipment.

This equipment may not be used on public coin phone service provided by the telephone company. Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs.

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a computer or other electronic device, including fax machines, to send any message 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 or other entity, or other individual sending the message and the telephone number of the sending machine or such business, other entity, or individual. (The telephone number provided may not be a 900 number or any other for which charges exceed local or long-distance transmission charges.)

In order to program this information into your fax software, you should refer to the manual of the fax software being used.
