FCC Notice
This equipment complies with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules and regulations governing telephone equipment and
the Technical Requirements for Connection to the Telephone Network published by the industry’s Administrative Council for Terminal

the line. This capability is provided in the hardware.
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication of the maximum number of devices that
may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive REN’s on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming
call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of REN’s should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected
to a line, as determined by the total REN’s contact the local telephone company.
The REN for this product is 0.2.
Telephone Company Procedures:
The goal of the telephone company is to provide you with the best service it can. In order to do this, it
may occasionally be necessary for them to make changes in their equipment, operations or procedures. If these changes might affect your
service or the operation of your equipment, the telephone company will give you notice, in writing, to allow you to make any changes
necessary to maintain uninterrupted service.
In certain circumstances, it may be necessary for the telephone company to request information from you concerning the equipment which
you have connected to your telephone line. Upon request of the telephone company, provide the FCC registration number and the ringer
equivalence number (REN); both of these items are listed on the equipment label. The sum of all of the REN’s on your telephone lines
should be less than five in order to assure proper service from the telephone company. In some cases, a sum of five may not be usable on
a given line.
If Problems Arise:
If any of your telephone equipment is not operating properly, you should immediately remove it from your telephone line,
as it may cause harm to the telephone network. If the telephone company notes a problem, they may temporarily discontinue service. When
practical, they will notify you in advance of this disconnection. If advance notice is not feasible, you will be notified as soon as possible.
When you are notified, you will be given the opportunity to correct the problem and informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
Contact your telephone company if you have any questions about your phone line. In the event repairs are ever needed on the
Communicator, they should be performed by Mircom Technologies Ltd. or an authorized representative of Mircom Technologies Ltd. For
information contact Mircom Technologies Ltd. at the address and phone numbers shown on the back page of this document.
