User’s Manual

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 

US : CXSMM01BRD02D450
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 REN of your modem, refer to your modem’s label.

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

called the USOC RJ11C.

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.

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

immediately 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 discontinue 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.

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.
