programs (collectively, the “Software”).
LICENSE
1.
Grant of License
The Software is licensed, not sold, to you for use only under the
terms of this Agreement. You own the disk or other media on
which the Software is originally or subsequently recorded or fixed;
but, as between you and Creative (and, to the extent applicable, its
licensors), Creative retains all title to and ownership of the
Software and reserves all rights not expressly granted to you.
2.

The Software may be used only on a single computer by a single
user at any time. You may transfer the machine-readable portion of
the Software from one computer to another computer, provided
that (a) the Software (including any portion or copy thereof) is
erased from the first computer and (b) there is no possibility that
the Software will be used on more than one computer at a time.
3.

You may use the Software only on a stand-alone basis, such that
the Software and the functions it provides are accessible only to
persons who are physically present at the location of the computer
on which the Software is loaded. You may not allow the Software
or its functions to be accessed remotely, or transmit all or any
portion of the Software through any network or communication
line.

object code. If you believe you require information related to the
interoperability of the Software with other programs, you shall not
decompile or disassemble the Software to obtain such information,
and you agree to request such information from Creative at the
address listed below. Upon receiving such a request, Creative shall
determine whether you require such information for a legitimate
purpose and, if so, Creative will provide such information to you
within a reasonable time and on reasonable conditions.
In any event, you will notify Creative of any information derived
from reverse engineering or such other activities, and the results
thereof will constitute the confidential information of Creative that
may be used only in connection with the Software.
TERMINATION
The license granted to you is effective until terminated. You may
terminate it at any time by returning the Software (including any
portions or copies thereof) to Creative. The license will also terminate
automatically without any notice from Creative if you fail to comply
with any term or condition of this Agreement. You agree upon such
termination to return the Software (including any portions or copies
thereof) to Creative. Upon termination, Creative may also enforce any
rights provided by law. The provisions of this Agreement that protect
the proprietary rights of Creative will continue in force after
termination.
LIMITED WARRANTY
Creative warrants, as the sole warranty, that the disks on which the
Software is furnished will be free of defects, as set forth in the
Warranty Card or printed manual included with the Software. No
distributor, dealer or any other entity or person is authorized to expand
or alter this warranty or any other provisions of this Agreement. Any
representation, other than the warranties set forth in this Agreement,
will not bind Creative.
Creative does not warrant that the functions contained in the Software
will meet your requirements or that the operation of the Software will
be uninterrupted, error-free or free from malicious code. For purposes
of this paragraph, “malicious code” means any program code
designed to contaminate other computer programs or computer data,
consume computer resources, modify, destroy, record, or transmit
data, or in some other fashion usurp the normal operation of the
computer, computer system, or computer network, including viruses,
Trojan horses, droppers, worms, logic bombs, and the like.
EXCEPT
AS STATED ABOVE IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE
SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED AS-IS WITHOUT WARRANTY
OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CREATIVE IS NOT
OBLIGATED TO PROVIDE ANY UPDATES, UPGRADES OR
TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR THE SOFTWARE.
mb5625.book Page ii Tuesday, October 19, 1999 2:41 PM
Further, Creative shall not be liable for the accuracy of any
information provided by Creative or third party technical support
personnel, or any damages caused, either directly or indirectly, by acts

You assume full responsibility for the selection of the Software to
achieve your intended results, and for the installation, use and results
obtained from the Software. You also assume the entire risk as it
applies to the quality and performance of the Software. Should the
Software prove defective, you (and not Creative, or its distributors or
dealers) assume the entire cost of all necessary servicing, repair or
correction.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have
other rights which vary from country/state to country/state. Some
countries/states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so
the above exclusion may not apply to you. Creative disclaims all
warranties of any kind if the Software was customized, repackaged or
altered in any way by any third party other than Creative.
LIMITATION OF REMEDIES AND DAMAGES
THE ONLY REMEDY FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY WILL
BE THAT SET FORTH IN THE WARRANTY CARD OR

NO EVENT WILL CREATIVE OR ITS LICENSORS BE
LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR FOR ANY LOST
PROFITS, LOST SAVINGS, LOST REVENUES OR LOST
DATA ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE SOFTWARE
OR THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF CREATIVE OR ITS
LICENSORS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY
OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL CREATIVE’S
LIABILITY OR DAMAGES TO YOU OR ANY OTHER
PERSON EVER EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO
USE THE SOFTWARE, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF
THE CLAIM.
Some countries/states do not allow the limitation or exclusion of
liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above
limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
PRODUCT RETURNS
If you must ship the software to Creative or an authorized Creative
distributor or dealer, you must prepay shipping and either insure the
software or assume all risk of loss or damage in transit.

The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This
certification means that the equipment meets certain protective,
operational, and safety requirements of telecommunications network.
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 made by an authorized
Canadian maintenance facility 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.
For their own protection, users should ensure that the electrical
ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal
metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This
precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.
CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such connections
themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection
authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

L’Étiquette du Ministère des Industries du Canada identifie le matériel
homologué. Cette étiquette certifie que le matériel est conforme à
certaines normes de protection, d’exploitation et de sécurité des
réseaux de télécommunications. Le Ministère n’assure toutefois pas
que le matériel 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 en
suivant une méthode acceptée de raccordement. L’abonné ne doit pas
oublier qu’il est possible que la conformité aux conditions énoncées
ci-dessus n’empêche pas la dégradation du service dans certaines
situations. Les réparations de matériel homologué doivent être
effectuées par un centre d’entretien canadien autorisé désigné par le
fournisseur. La compagnie 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 de mauvais
fonctionnement. Pour sa propre protection, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer
que tous les fils de mise à la terre de la source d’énergie électrique,
des lignes téléphoniques et des canalizations d’eau métalliques, s’il y
en a, sont raccordé ensemble. Cette précaution est particulièrement
importante dans les régions rurales.
AVERTISSEMENT: L’utilisateur ne doit pas tenter de faire ces
raccordements lui-même; il doit avoir recours à un service
d’inspection des installations électriques, ou à un électricien, selon le
cas.

Contact your local telephone company for help if you are not sure about the suitability of
your telephone line.
This modem is intended for use on an analog telephone line, also known as a POTS (Plain
Old Telephone Service) line. You cannot connect the modem directly to a digital telephone
line, such as those commonly used in offices.
If you want to connect to a digital line, you need an analog converter compatible with the
telephone line you are using.
Certain optional telephone features, such as the “message waiting” light or call waiting, are
not compatible with this modem. We therefore advise you not to enable these features.
In most areas, call waiting should be disabled on outgoing calls. If call waiting is enabled,
you may experience problems when transfering data with your modem.
