THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
DESIGN COMPLIANCE
Your telephone is designed to
comply with FCC Rules and Regulations, Part 68. It can be con-
nected to the telephone network as FCC-registered terminal equip-
ment. The registration number is printed on the label on the bottom
of your telephone.
NOTIFICATION TO THE TELEPHONE COMPANY
As a customer of the local telephone company, you must, if they ask,
tell them before connecting your telephone to the telephone com-
pany lines. The telephone company may need the FCC registration
number and the ringer equivalence of the telephone. This informa-
tion is printed on a label on the bottom of your telephone.
RINGER EQUIVALENCE
The ringer equivalence indi-
cates the amount of power that your telephone draws from the tele-
phone company line during ringing. The number is printed on the
label on the bottom of your telephone.
If you have more than one telephone (or other terminal de-
vice) 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.
INTERFERENCE POTENTIAL
Your telephone has a
pushbutton dial that generates radio frequency energy. If not prop-
erly used, it may interfere with radio and television reception. If the
telephone does cause interference with reception, move the radio or
television to another electrical circuit or another location. If neces-
sary, you may need to seek advice from an experienced technician.
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.
TYPE OF DIALING
Your telephone has a TONE/PULSE
switch that allows Tone or Pulse dialing. To use TONE dialing, you
must have TONE service from your telephone company to use your
telephone for dialing. Note that you will usually be charged extra for
TONE service.
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 tempo-
rarily 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.
