FCC REQUIREMENTS FOR TELEPHONE-LINE EQUIPMENT
1.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has established rules which permit this device to be directly
connected to the telephone network with standardized jacks. This equipment should not be used on party lines
or coin lines.
2.
If this device is malfunctioning, it may also be causing harm to the telephone network; this device should be
disconnected until the source of the problem can be determined and until the repair has been made. If this is not
done, the telephone company may temporarily disconnect service.
3.
If you have problems with your telephone equipment after installing this device, disconnect this device from the
line to see if it is causing the problem. If it is, contact your supplier or an authorized agent.
4.
The telephone company may make changes in its technical operations and procedures. If any such changes
affect the compatibility or use of this device, the telephone company is required to give adequate notice of the
changes.
5.
If the telephone company requests information on what equipment is connected to their lines, inform them of:
a. The telephone number that this unit is connected to.
b. The ringer equivalence number.
c. The USOC jack required: RJ-11C.
d. The FCC registration number.
Items (b) and (d) can be found on the unit’s FCC label. The ringer equivalence number (REN) is used
to determine how many devices can be connected to your telephone line. In most areas, the sum of the
RENs of all devices on any one line should not exceed five (5.0). If too many devices are attached,
they may not ring properly.
6.
In the event of an equipment malfunction, all repairs should be performed by your supplier or an authorized
agent. It is the responsibility of users requiring service to report the need for service to the supplier or to an
authorized agent.
CERTIFICATION NOTICE FOR EQUIPMENT USED IN CANADA
The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the
equipment meets certain telecommunications-network protective, operation, and safety requirements. 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. In some cases, the company’s inside wiring associated with a single-line individual service may be
extended by means of a certified connector assembly (extension cord). The customer should be aware that
compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.
