11.3 FCC and Other Information
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC
rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA.
On the rear of this equipment is a label that
contains, among other information, a product
identifier in the format US:ACJ----------.
If requested, this number must be provided to the
telephone company.
• Registration No .....(found on the rear of the unit)
• Ringer Equivalence No. (REN)
...............................(found on the rear of the unit)
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.
The REN is used to determine the number of
devices that may be connected to a telephone line.
Excessive RENs 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 RENs
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 RENs, contact the
local telephone company. For products approved
after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part
of the product identifier that has the format
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by
## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g.,03 is
a REN of 0.3).
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone
network, the telephone company will notify you in
advance that temporary discontinuance of service
may be required. But if advance notice isn’t
practical, the telephone company will notify the
customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be
advised of your right to file a complaint with the
FCC if you believe it is necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in its
facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that
could affect the operation of the equipment. If this
happens the telephone company will provide
advance notice in order for you to make necessary
modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.
If trouble is experienced with this equipment, for
repair or warranty information, please contact a
Factory Servicenter or other Authorized Servicer. If
the equipment is causing harm to the telephone
network, the telephone company may request that
you disconnect the equipment until the problem is
resolved.
Connection to party line service is subject to state
tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission,
public service commission or corporation
commission for information.
This equipment is hearing aid compatible as
defined by the FCC in 47 CFR Section 68.316.
If your home has specially wired alarm equipment
connected to the telephone line, ensure the
installation of this equipment does not disable your
alarm equipment. If you have questions about
what will disable alarm equipment, consult your
telephone company or a qualified installer.
WHEN PROGRAMMING EMERGENCY
NUMBERS AND(OR) MAKING TEST CALLS TO
EMERGENCY NUMBERS:
1) Remain on the line and briefly explain to the
dispatcher the reason for the call.
2) Perform such activities in the off-peak hours,
such as early morning or late evenings.
The software contained in this equipment to allow
user access to the network must be upgraded to
recognize newly established network area codes
and exchange codes as they are placed into
service. Failure to upgrade the premises systems
or peripheral equipment to recognize the new
codes as they are established will restrict the
customer and the customer’s employees from
gaining access to the network and to these codes.
NOTE:
Many states have imposed regulations on the
manner in which 2-way telephone conversations
may be recorded, so you should inform the other
party that the conversation is being recorded.
Consult your local telephone company for further
information.
CAUTION:
Any changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate this
device.
