Connection and Use with the Nationwide Telephone
Network
The FCC requires that you connect your product to the nationwide telephone
network through a modular telephone outlet or jack. The modular telephone
outlet or jack to which the telephone must be connected is a USOC RJ-11C or
RJ-11W. This equipment may not be used with Party Line Service or with Coin
Telephone Lines.
Notification to the Telephone Company
The FCC requires that upon request of your local telephone company, you
provide the following information: a) The “line” to which you will connect the
telephone equipment (that is, your phone number), and b) The telephone
equipment’s FCC registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN).
These numbers are on the back or bottom of your telephone equipment. The
REN is used to determine how many devices you may connect to your telephone
line and still have them ring when your telephone line is called. In most, but not
all areas, the sum of all REN’s should be 5 or less. You may want to contact your
local telephone company.
Repair Instructions
If it is determined that your telephone equipment is malfunctioning, the FCC
requires that it not be used and that it be unplugged from the modular outlet until
the problem has been corrected. Repairs to the telephone equipment can only
be made by the manufacturer or its authorized agents or by others who may be
authorized by the FCC. For repair procedures, follow instruction outlined under
the "
Limited Warranty
