List of FCC requirements and information
!
If required by the telephone company, inform them
of the following.
●
FCC Registration No.:
(found on the rear of the unit)
●
Ringer Equivalence No.:
(found on the rear of the unit)
●
The particular telephone line to which the
equipment is connected.
This unit must not be connected to a coin operated
line. If you are on a party line, check with your
local telephone company.
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN):
This REN is useful in determining the quantity of
devices you may connect to your telephone line
and still have all of those devices ring when your
telephone number is called. In most but not all
areas, the sum of the REN’s of all devices
connected to one line should not exceed five (5.0).
To be certain of the number of devices you may
connect to your line, as determined by the REN,
you should contact your local telephone company
to determine the maximum REN for your calling
area.
In the event that terminal equipment causes harm
to the telephone network, the telephone company
should notify the customer, if possible, that service
may be stopped. However, where prior notice is
impractical, the company may temporarily cease
service providing that they:
a) Promptly notify the customer.
b) Give the customer an opportunity to correct the
problem with their equipment.
c) Inform the customer of the right to bring a
complaint to the Federal Communication
Commission pursuant to procedures set out in
FCC Rules and Regulations Subpart E of Part
68.
The Telephone Company may make changes in its
communications facilities, equipment operations, or
procedures where such action is reasonably
required in the operation of its business and is not
inconsistent with the rules and regulations in FCC
Part 68. If such changes can be reasonably
expected to render any customer terminal
equipment incompatible with telephone company
communications facilities, or require modification or
alteration of such terminal equipment, or otherwise
materially affect its use or performance, the
customer shall be given adequate notice in writing,
to allow the customer an opportunity to maintain
uninterrupted service.
CAUTION:
Any changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate this
device.
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 before
hanging up.
2. Perform such activities in the off-peak hours;
such as early morning or late evenings.
This telephone provides magnetic coupling to
hearing aids.
NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
— Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
— Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.
— Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
— Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
