NOTICE TO MODEM USERS IN THE USA
NOTE
The HD9084 Caption Encoder complies with the FCC Rules Part 68. The caption encoder is designed
to be used on standard device telephone lines. It connects to the telephone line by means of a
standard jack called the USOC RJ11C and should be connected to the telephone network with a FCC
compliant telephone cord and modular plug.
It is not necessary to notify the telephone company before connecting the modem in the caption
encoder. However, the telephone company may request the telephone number to which the caption
encoder modem is connected and the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN),
both of which are on the label on the rear panel.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices you may legally connect to your telephone line.
In most areas, the sum of the REN of all devices connected to one line must not exceed five (5.0). You
should contact your telephone company to determine the maximum REN for your calling area.
The caption encoder may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company. Connection
to party lines is subject to state tariffs.
If the modem in the caption encoder is malfunctioning, it may affect the telephone lines. In this case,
disconnect the modem until the source of the difficulty is traced.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTICE
FOR A RELIABLE TELEPHONE CONNECTION TO THE MODEM IN THIS CAPTION ENCODER A
DIRECT TELEPHONE LINE MUST BE USED. THIS LINE MUST NOT PASS THROUGH A PBX OR
SIMILAR KEY DEVICE.
