FCC REGULATIONS
Instructions to comply with FCC Regulations:
System Registration:
In some states, the tariff laws
concerning the connection of multi-telephone system
require that the FCC number be reported to the tele-
phone company to signify the type of installation.
The Protegé system has two FCC regulation numbers
for each KSU type corresponding with two modes of
operation. Before contacting the telephone company
to order telephone lines, determine the proper FCC
number from the label on the KSU. The two opera-
tion modes are:
"MF" - Fully protected multi-function system,
"KF" - Fully protected key system.
The Protegé 616 System FCC Registration Num-
bers are:
MF = FTZTAI-35688-MF-E
KF = FTZTAI-35689-KF-E
Only report the "KF" number if lines can only be
accessed singly by pressing line keys on the keysets.
If any type of pooled access to Central Office lines is
available (including LCR, line routes, or even the
capability of dialing 9 to search for a free outside
line) the "MF" number should be reported.
Notification Requirements:
The Protegé 616 equip-
ment is registered with the Federal Communications
Commission under Part 68 Rules and Regulations for
direct connection to the telephone network. Read
and follow the instructions below to comply with
FCC regulations.
Terminal Equipment or Protective Circuitry:
This
equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules
and Regulations. The information containing the
FCC Registration number and ringer equivalence
number (REN) is located on the label of this equip-
ment. If requested, this information must be pro-
vided to the telephone company.
The following information must be provided to
the telephone company, if requested.
USOC = RJ25C
Service Order Code = 9.0F
Facility Interface Code = O2LS2
REN: 1.5B
The REN is used to determine the quantity of
devices that may be connected to the telephone line.
Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in
the devices not ringing in response to an incoming
call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs
should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the num-
ber of devices that may be connected to the line, as
determined by the total RENs, contact the telephone
company to determine the maximum REN for the
area.
Notify the telephone company upon final discon-
nect of such equipment or circuitry from the particu-
lar line(s).
Systems Assembled with Individually Registered
Terminal Equipment or Protective Circuitry:
Notify
the telephone company before connecting any
system assembled with individually registered ter-
minal equipment or protective circuitry to the tele-
phone network. Supply the following information
for each line:
1. Any information required for compatible
operation of the equipment with telephone
company communications facilities.
2. The FCC Registration Numbers for all equip-
ment dedicated to the line.
3. The largest ringer equivalence that will be pre-
sented to the line.
4. A list of FCC Registration Numbers for all
equipment to be used in the system.

when connecting Protegé components with the tele-
phone network.
