A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must 
comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant 
telephone cord modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a 
compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See this document for details.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. 
Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. 
In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of 
devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone 
company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product 
identifier that has the format US: AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a 
decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3).
If this equipment, U.S. Robotics ADSL USB/Ethernet Modem, causes harm to the telephone network, 
the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be 
required. But if advance notice is not 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 necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.
If trouble is experienced with this equipment, for repair or warranty information, please contact:
USR - Walnut
528 Spanish Lane
Walnut, CA 91789
If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that 
you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved.
There are no serviceable parts in this equipment.
If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the 
installation of this equipment does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about 
what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital 
apparatus set out in the interference-causing equipment standard entitled Digital Apparatus, ICES-003 
of Industry Canada.

Customer Information
Notice: This equipment meets the applicable Industry Canada Terminal Equipment Technical 
Specifications. This is confirmed by the registration number. The abbreviation, IC, before the 
registration number signifies that registration was performed based on a Declaration of Conformity 
indicating that Industry Canada technical specifications were met. It does not imply that Industry 
Canada approved the equipment.
Notice: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this terminal equipment is 0.1B. The REN assigned 
to each terminal equipment provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be 
connected to a telephone interface. The termination on a 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 five.
AVIS : Le nombre équivalent de sonneries (REN) affecté à chaque terminal indique le nombre maximal 
37
37
de terminaux qui peuvent être branchés à une interface téléphonique. L’équipement terminal d’une 
interface peut comporter toute combinaison d’appareils, à la condition unique que le nombre 
équivalent total des sonneries de tous les appareils ne dépasse pas 5. Le nombre équivalent des 
sonneries se trouve sur la base du modem. 
AVIS: L’étiquette d’Industrie Canada (IC) permet d’identifier le matériel homologué. Cette 
homologation signifie que le matériel est conforme à certaines normes de protection, d’exploitation et 
de sécurité des réseaux de télécommunications, comme le prescrivent les documents qui portent sur 
les exigences techniques relatives à l’équipement terminal. Cependant, le Ministère ne garantit pas que 
l’appareil fonctionnera à la satisfaction de l’utilisateur. 
Avant d’installer ce matériel, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer qu’il est permis de le raccorder aux installations 
de l’entreprise locale de télécommunication. Le matériel doit également être installé selon une 
méthode de raccordement autorisée. Dans certains cas, le câblage intérieur de la compagnie étant 
associé à une ligne individuelle, le service individuel peut être étendu au moyen d’un connecteur 
certifié (rallonge téléphonique). L’abonné ne doit pas oublier que la conformité aux conditions 
susmentionnées n’empêchera peut-être pas la dégradation du service dans certains cas. À l’heure 
actuelle, les compagnies de téléphone n’autorisent pas les utilisateurs à raccorder leur appareil au jack 
sauf dans des circonstances précises énoncées dans les contrats et tarifs de ces compagnies. 
Les réparations de matériel homologué doivent être coordonnées par un représentant désigné par le 
fournisseur. L’entreprise de télécommunications peut demander à l’utilisateur de débrancher un 
appareil à la suite de réparations ou de modifications effectuées par l’utilisateur ou à cause d’un 
mauvais fonctionnement de l’appareil.
