Safety Instructions

Important: The law in some areas requires that all parties on the phone
line be able to hear a beep indicating the conversation is being recorded. If
you connect the telephone cassette recorder to your phone using the sup-
plied dual-prong cord and handset adapter, all parties on the phone line
might not hear a beep during recording. We recommend you check the
laws in your area. If it is unlawful to record without a beep sounding, or if
you are unsure, connect the telephone cassette recorder as described in
“Connecting Directly to the Phone Line” to ensure the beep will sound.

Consumer Information And FCC Requirements

1. This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the bottom 

of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the 
FCC registration number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this
equipment. If requested, provide information to your telephone company.

2. The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may con-

nect to your telephone and still have all of those devices ring when your
number is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all 
devices should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of 
devices you may connect to your line, as determined by the REN, you 
should call your local telephone company to determine the maximum 
REN for your calling area.

3. If your VersaCorder causes harm to the telephone network, the tele-

phone company may discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, 
they will notify you in advance. But if advance notice isn’t practical, you 
will be notified as soon as possible. You will be advised of your right to 
file a complaint with the FCC.

4. Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, 

operations, or procedures that could affect the proper operation of your 
equipment. If they do, you will be given advance notice so as to give 
you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service.

5. If you experience trouble with the VersaCorder, please contact the 

C. Crane Company at 1001 Main St. Fortuna, CA 95540 (800) 522-
8863, for repair/warranty information. The telephone company may ask 
you to disconnect this equipment from the network until the problem has
been corrected or you are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning.

6. There are no repairs that can be made by the customer to the 

VersaCorder.

7. This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the tele-

phone. Connection to party lines is subject to state tariffs. (Contact your 
state public utility commission or corporation commission for informa-

tion).
