DESIGN COMPLIANCE
Your telephone is designed to comply with FCC Rules and
Regulations, Part 68. It can be connected to the telephone network as FCC-registered
terminal equipment. The registration number is printed on the label on the bottom of your
telephone.
NOTIFICATION TO THE TELEPHONE COMPANY
As a customer of the local telephone
company, you must, if they ask, tell them before connecting your telephone to the telephone
company lines. The telephone company may need the FCC registration number and the
ringer equivalence of the telephone. This information is printed on a label on the bottom of
your telephone.
RINGER EQUIVALENCE
The ringer equivalence indicates the amount of power that your
telephone draws from the telephone company line during ringing. The number is printed on
the label on the bottom of your telephone.
If you have more than one telephone (or other terminal device) connected to the telephone
company line, you should total the ringer equivalence numbers (REN’s), and be sure that the
total is not more than five. Your telephones may not ring if the total is more than five. Also, in
some rural locations, your telephone may not ring if the REN total is more than three.
RESTRICTIONS
You must not connect your telephone to coin-operated lines or party lines.
INTERFERENCE POTENTIAL
Your telephone has a pushbutton dial that generates radio
frequency energy. If not properly used, it may interfere with radio and television reception. If
the telephone does cause interference with reception, move the radio or television to another
electrical circuit or another location. If necessary, you may need to seek advice from an
experienced technician.
INSTALLATION
This model telephone must be connected to the telephone company lines
through a modular jack.The required USOC for the modular jack is RJ11C for desk mounting
and RJ11W for wall mounting. The USOC number is printed on the label on the bottom of
your telephone.
TYPE OF DIALING
Your telephone has a pushbutton TONE dial. You must have TONE
service from your telephone company to use your telephone for dialing. Note that you will
usually be charged extra for TONE service.
HEARING-AID COMPATIBILITY
The handset on your telephone will work with magneti-
cally-coupled hearing aids. You can use a hearing aid equipped with a T (Telephone) switch.
IN CASE OF TROUBLE
If your telephone should cause problems on the telephone line, the
telephone company can temporarily disconnect your service. The telephone company must
then notify and allow you to correct the problem.
The telephone company may from time to time change its lines or equipment. They must
notify you if planned changes will affect your telephone service, to allow you to take steps to
prevent interruptions.
