							FCC Compliance Statement135
FCC Compliance Statement
For United States Users
1. This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the 
ACTA. On the top of FAX MODEM board of this equipment is a label that contains, among other 
information, a product identifier in the format US: BKMMM00BEU-96. If requested, this number 
must be provided to the telephone company.
2. RJ11C is available for this equipment.
3. 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 and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a 
compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details.
4. 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: BKMMM00BEU-96. The digits represented by 00 are the 
REN without a decimal point (e.g., 00 is a REN of 0.0). For earlier products, the REN is separately 
shown on the label.
5. If this terminal equipment Model EU-96 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 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.
6. 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.
7. If trouble is experienced with this equipment Model EU-96, for repair or warranty information, 
please contact Epson America, Inc. 800-556-6025. 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. 
8. This equipment cannot be used on public coin phone service provided by the telephone company. 
Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. (Contact the state public utility commission, 
public service commission or corporation commission for information.)
9. 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 
 
						

							136Notices 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. In order to program this information into your fax machine, you should use 
the FAX Recipient Registration Tool (EPSON Speed Dial Utility).
10. According to the FCC’s electrical safety advisory, we recommend that you may install an AC surge 
arrestor in the AC outlet to which this equipment is connected. Telephone companies report that 
electrical surges, typically lightning transients, are very destructive to customer terminal equipment 
connected to AC power sources and that this is a major nationwide problem.
11. If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the 
installation of this equipment Model EU-96 does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have 
questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified 
installer.
Canada
1. This product meets the applicable Industry Canada technical specifications.
Le présent matériel est conforme aux spécifications techniques applicables d’Industrie Canada.
2. The Ringer Equivalence Number is an indication of the maximum number of devices allowed to be 
connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface may consist of any combination of 
devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the RENs of all the devices does not exceed five.
L’indice d’équivalence de la sonnerie (IES) sert à indiquer le nombre maximal de terminaux qui 
peuvent être raccordés à une interface téléphonique. La terminaison d’une interface peut consister en 
une combinaison quelconque de dispositifs, à la seule condition que la somme d’indices d’équivalence 
de la sonnerie de tous les dispositifs n’excède pas 5.
