FCC INFORMATION
Part 68
is a Federal regulation which requires equipment to be tested and
registered with the FCC prior to its connection to the network. This
equipment complies with Part 68 of FCC rules. On the bottom of the
telephone is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC Registra-
tion Number and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment.
You must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone company.
The
Ringer Equivalence Number
, which is used to determine the number of
devices you may connect to your phone line, indicates the amount of power
that your telephone draws from the telephone company line during ringing. If
you have more than one telephone (or other terminal device) connected to the
telephone company line, you should total the ringer equivalence numbers
(REN s), and be sure that the total is not more than five. Your telephones may
not ring if the total is more than five. Also, in some rural locations, your
telephone may not ring if the REN total is more than three.
RESTRICTIONS
You must not connect your telephone to coin-operated
lines or party lines.
INSTALLATION
This model telephone must be connected to the telephone
company lines through a modular jack. The required USOC for the modular
jack is RJ11C for desk mounting and RJ11W for wall mounting. The USOC
number is printed on the label on the bottom of your telephone.
HEARING-AID COMPATIBILITY
The handset on your telephone will
work with magnetically-coupled hearing aids. You can use a hearing aid
equipped with a T (Telephone) switch.
IN CASE OF TROUBLE
If your telephone should cause problems on the
telephone line, the telephone company can temporarily disconnect your
service. The telephone company must then notify and allow you to correct the
problem.
The telephone company may from time to time change its lines or equipment.
They must notify you if planned changes will affect your telephone service, to
allow you to take steps to prevent interruptions.
Part 15
regulates the electromagnetic energy emitted by equipment to
minimize interference to radio, television, and other wireless devices. This
telephone complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. In the unlikely event that
interference occurs, move the telephone and/or radio, television, etc. to
increase the separation distance.
