User Instructions Compliant with New Zealand Telecom Requirements Safety The series 576W global modem is intended for use with the Compaq 2890 series of computers. For the purposes of New Zealand Telecom approval, the Compaq series 576W global modem is classified as a host-independent product. The following information characterizes the requirements of the host system in order to maintain the reliable use of the Compaq series 576W global modem: s The Compaq series 576W voice/fax modem requires a power supply voltage of 5 VDC ±5%, 12 VDC ±5%, or -12 VDC ±5%. s The host computer must provide a maximum of 950 mW from the +5 VDC power supply and a maximum of 50mW from the -12 VDC power supply and the +12 VDC power supply. s The host apparatus must provide adequate power for the modem and any other auxiliary apparatus drawing power from it. s For reasons of electrical safety, the computer which houses this voice/fax modem card must be earthed. The operation of this card in a computer which is not earthed may negate the user's rights under the Telecom terms of service. s The computer which houses this voice/fax modem card is classified as a computer rather than a communications terminal. As with all mains powered electrical equipment, there is a legal requirement for it to meet the requirements of the NZ Wiring Regulations. It is the responsibility of the computer supplier rather than the Telepermit System to ensure that these requirements are met. s Failure to provide modem user's instructions with the host computer will INVALIDATE the modem approval.
