Telephone company procedures

The goal of the telephone company is to provide you with the best service it can. In

order to do this, it may occasionally be necessary for them to make changes in their

equipment, operations, or procedures. If these changes might affect your service or

the operation of your equipment, the telephone company will give you notice in

writing to allow you to make any changes necessary to maintain uninterrupted

service.

If problems arise

If any of your telephone equipment is not operating properly, you should immedi-

ately remove it from your telephone line, as it may cause harm to the telephone

network. If the telephone company notes a problem, they may temporarily discon-

tinue service. When practical, they will notify you in advance of this disconnection.

If advance notice is not feasible, you will be notified as soon as possible. When

you are notified, you will be given the opportunity to correct the problem and

informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC. In the event repairs are ever

needed on your modem, they should be performed by TOSHIBA Corporation or an

authorized representative of TOSHIBA Corporation.

Disconnection

If you should ever decide to permanently disconnect your modem from its present

line, please call the telephone company and let them know of this change.

Fax branding

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person

to use a computer or other electronic device to send any message via a telephone

fax machine 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, other entity or 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 modem, you

should complete the setup of your fax software before sending messages.

Japan regulations

Region selection

If you are using the computer in Japan, technical regulations described in the

Telecommunications Business Law require that you select the Japan region mode. It

is illegal to use the modem in Japan with any other selection.

Redial

Up to two redial attempts can be made. If more than two redial attempts are made, the

modem will return Black Listed. If you are experiencing problems with the Black

Listed code, set the interval between redials at one minute or longer.

Japan’s Telecommunications Business Law permits up to two redials on analogue

telephones, but the redials must be made within a total of three minutes.

The internal modem is approved by Japan Approvals Institute for Telecommunica-

tions Equipment.

A02-0604JP

Pursuant to FCC CFR 47, Part 68:

When you are ready to install or use the modem, call your local telephone company

and give them the following information:

❑ The telephone number of the line to which you will connect the modem

❑ The registration number that is located on the device

The FCC registration number of the modem will be found on either the device which

is to be installed, or, if already installed, on the bottom of the computer outside of the

main system label.

❑ The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) of the modem, which can vary. For the

RENofyourmodem, refertoyourmodem’slabel.

The modem connects to the telephone line by means of a standard jack called the

USOC RJ11C.

Type of service

Your modem is designed to be used on standard-device telephone lines. Connection

to telephone company-provided coin service (central office implemented systems) is

prohibited. Connection to party lines service is subject to state tariffs. If you have

any questions about your telephone line, such as how many pieces of equipment you

can connect to it, the telephone company will provide this information upon request.

Instructions for IC CS-03 certified equipment

1 The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means

that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, opera-

tional and safety requirements as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment

Technical Requirements document(s). 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.

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 coordinated by a representative 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 connec-

tions of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system,

if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important

inruralareas.

CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such connections them-

selves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority,

or electrician, as appropriate.

Notes for Users in Australia and New Zealand

Modem warning notice for Australia

Modems connected to the Australian telecoms network must have a valid Austel

permit. This modem has been designed to specifically configure to ensure compli-

ance with Austel standards when the country/region selection is set to Australia.

The use of other country/region setting while the modem is attached to the

Australian PSTN would result in you modem being operated in a non-compliant

manner. To verify that the country/region is correctly set, enter the command ATI

which displays the currently active setting.

To set the country/region permanently to Australia, enter the following command

sequence:

AT%TE=1

ATS133=1

AT&F

AT&W

AT%TE=0

ATZ

Failure to set the modem to the Australia country/region setting as shown above

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 Telecoms Act 1991

prescribes a penalty of $12,000 for the connection of non-permitted equipment.

Notes for use of this device in New Zealand

❑ The grant of a Telepermit for a device in no way indicates Telecom acceptance

of responsibility for the correct operation of that device under all operating

conditions. In particular the higher speeds at which this modem is capable of

operating depend on a specific network implementation which is only one of

many ways of delivering high quality voice telephony to customers. Failure to

operate should not be reported as a fault to Telecom.

❑ In addition to satisfactory line conditions a modem can only work properly if:

a/ it is compatible with the modem at the other end of the call and

b/ the application using the modem is compatible with the application at the

other end of the call - e.g., accessing the Internet requires suitable

software in addition to a modem.

❑ This equipment shall not be used in any manner which could constitute a

nuisance to other Telecom customers.

❑ SomeparametersrequiredforcompliancewithTelecom’sPTCSpecifications

are dependent on the equipment (PC) associated with this modem. The

associated equipment shall be set to operate within the following limits for

compliancewithTelecomSpecifications:

a/ There shall be no more than 10 call attempts to the same number within

any 30 minute period for any single manual call initiation, and

b/ The equipment shall go on-hook for a period of not less than 30 seconds

between the end of one attempt and the beginning of the next.

c/ Automatic calls to different numbers shall be not less than 5 seconds

apart.

❑ Immediately disconnect this equipment should it become physically damaged,

and arrange for its disposal or repair.

❑ The correct settings for use with this modem in New Zealand are as follows:

ATB0(CCITToperation)

AT&G2(1800Hzguardtone)

AT&P1(Decadicdialingmake-breakratio=33%/67%)

ATS0=0 (not auto answer)

ATS6=4(Blinddialdelay)

ATS7=less than 90 (Time to wait to carrier after dialing)

ATS10=less than 150 (loss of carrier to hangup delay, factory default of 15

recommended)

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

ATS11=90(DTMFdialingon/offduration=90ms)

ATX2 (Dial tone detect, but not (U.S.A.) call progress detect)

❑ When used in the Auto Answer mode, the S0 register must be set with a value

of 3 or 4. This ensures:

(a) a person calling your modem will hear a short burst of ringing before the

modem answers. This confirms that the call has been successfully

switched through the network.

(b) caller identification information (which occurs between the first and

second ring cadences) is not destroyed.

❑ The preferred method of dialing is to use DTMF tones (ATDT...) as this is

faster and more reliable than pulse (decadic) dialing. If for some reason you

must use decadic dialing, your communications program must be set up to

record numbers using the following translation table as this modem does not

implement the New Zealand “Reverse Dialing” standard.

Number to be dialed: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Number to program into computer: 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

Note that where DTMF dialing is used, the numbers should be entered

normally.

❑ The transmit level from this device is set at a fixed level and because of this

there may be circumstances where the performance is less than optimal. Before

reporting such occurrences as faults, please check the line with a standard

Telepermitted telephone, and only report a fault if the phone performance is

impaired.

❑ It is recommended that this equipment be disconnected from the Telecom line

duringelectricalstorms.

❑ When relocating the equipment, always disconnect the Telecom line connec-

tion before the power connection, and reconnect the power first.

❑ This equipment may not be compatible with Telecom Distinctive Alert ca-

dences and services such as FaxAbility.

NOTE THAT FAULT CALLOUTS CAUSED BY ANY OF THE ABOVE

CAUSES MAY INCUR A CHARGE FROM TELECOM

General Precautions

TOSHIBA computers are designed to optimize safety, minimize strain and withstand

the rigors of portability. However, certain precautions should be observed to further

reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the computer.

Be certain to read the general precautions below and to note the cautions included

in the text of the manual.

Stress injury

Carefully read the Safety Instruction Manual. It contains information on prevention

of stress injuries to your hands and wrists that can be caused by extensive

keyboard use. Chapter 3, Getting Started, also includes information on work space

design, posture and lighting that can help reduce physical stress.

Heat injury

‰

Avoid prolonged physical contact with the bottom of the computer. If the

computer is used for long periods, its surface can become very warm. While the

temperature will not feel hot to the touch, if you maintain physical contact with

the computer for a long time (if you rest the computer on your lap, for example)

your skin might suffer low-heat injury.

‰

If the computer has been used for a long time, avoid direct contact with the

metal plate supporting the I/O ports. It can become hot.

The surface of the AC adaptor can become hot when in use. This condition

does not indicate a malfunction. If you need to transport the AC adaptor,

disconnect it and let it cool before moving it.

‰

Do not lay the AC adaptor on a material that is sensitive to heat. The material

could be damaged.

Pressure or impact damage

Do not apply heavy pressure to the computer or subject it to strong impact.

Excessive pressure or impact can damage computer components or otherwise cause

malfunctions.
