Service
If you experience problem with the Siemens optiPoint telephone, contact Siemens
customer support at 1-800-835-7656 for information on service and repairs. The telephone
company can ask you to disconnect the equipment from the network until the problem is
corrected or until you are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning.
FCC Rules, Part 15
The Siemens optiPoint telephone has been tested and complied with the limits for a
class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operat-
ed in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual,
can cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be re-
quired to correct the interference in the user’s expense.
FCC Rules, Part 68
FCC Part 68 Certification
The Siemens optiPoint telephone is certified with FCC under Part 68 as a component
device for connection behind FCC Part 68 certified Siemens PBX systems. In order for the
FCC certification of the Siemens optiPoint telephone to be retained, all other products
used in conjunction with the Siemens optiPoint telephone must also be FCC Part 68
certified for use with the front-end terminal equipment. If any of these components are not
certified, Siemens is required to obtain FCC Part 68 certification of the assembled equip-
ment prior to connection to the telephone network. Part 68 certification requires Siemens
to maintain this approval and as such are responsible for the following:
– Any component added to the Siemens optiPoint telephone, whether it bears
component certification or not, will require a Part 68 compliance evaluation. Siemens
may need to test and make a modification filing to the FCC before that new compo-
nent can be used;
– Any modification/update made to the Siemens optiPoint telephone will require
a Part 68 compliance evaluation. Siemens may need to test and make a modification
filing to the FCC before that modified component can be used;
– Siemens optiPoint telephone complies with and will continue to comply with all
the applicable rules and regulations in Subpart D of the FCC Part 68 rules during the
life-time of the product.
