Network Compatibility Notice
Icom IC-FR3100/IC-FR4100 PSTN Interface
Scope
This Network Compatibility Notice contains national requirements for proper operation of telecommunications equip-
ment within specific countries and is based on the ETSI document “A guide to the application of TBR21,”
EG201 121 V1.1.3 (02-2002). This notice applies to all IC-FR3100/IC-FR4100 that are marked .
This product has been tested in accordance with TBR21 for pan-European single terminal connection to the Public
Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). However, due to differences between the individual PSTNs provided in dif-
ferent countries, TBR21 does not, of itself, give an unconditional assurance of successful operation on every PSTN
network termination point.
In the event of problems you should contact your equipment supplier in the first instance.
