COMPLIANCE INFORMATON
FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION REQUIREMENTS
The equipment complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules and Technical
Requirements for Telephone Terminal Equipment published by ACTA. The
marking on the base unit of this equipment contains, among other
information, the US Number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this
equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your
telephone company.
The REN is also useful in determining the quantity of devices that you may
connect to your telephone line and still allow these devices to ring when your
telephone number is called. In most areas, but not all, the sum of the RENs
for all devices connected to one line should not exceed five (5.0). To be
certain of the number of devices that you may connect to your line, you
should contact your local telephone company.
If your equipment should cause harm to the telephone network, the
telephone company may temporarily disconnect your service. If possible,
they will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may
be required. However, when advance written notice is not possible, the
telephone company may temporarily disconnect service without notice if such
action is necessary under the circumstances. The telephone company may
make changes in its communication facilities, equipment, operations, or
procedures where such action is reasonably required in the operation of its
business and is not inconsistent with the rules and regulations of the Federal
Communication Commission.
Notice
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and
telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and
requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular
plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a
compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions
for details.
Notice
This equipment should not be used on coin telephone lines. Connection to
party line service is subjected to state tariffs. If trouble is experienced,
disconnect this equipment from the telephone line to determine if it is causing
the malfunction. If the equipment is determined to be malfunctioning, its use
should be disconnected until the problem has been corrected.
Caution
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground
connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water
pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be
particularly important in rural areas.
Caution
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for its compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Do not attempt to repair or modify this equipment.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized
maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alternations
made by the user to the equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the
telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the
equipment.
