Important Information
Standard Telephone and FCC Notices
These notices are in effect on models sold and used in
the United States only.
This equipment is hearing aid compatible.
When programming emergency numbers and making test calls to
emergency numbers:
■
Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call
before hanging up.
■
Perform these activities in the off-peak hours, such as early morning or late
evening.
This equipment complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules. On the rear panel of this
equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC
Registration Number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this
equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone
company.
You may safely connect this equipment to the telephone line by means of a
standard modular jack, USOC RJ11C.
An FCC compliant telephone cord with a modular plug is provided with this
equipment. This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone line or
premises wiring using a compatible modular jack that is Part 68 compliant. See
the Installation section of this manual for details.
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your
telephone line and still have those devices ring when your telephone number is
called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected
to one line should not exceed five (5). 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. If your MFC-8500 damages the telephone line, the telephone company
may discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in
advance. But if advanced notice is not practical, you will be notified as soon as
possible. You will be informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
Your telephone company may make changes to its facilities, equipment,
operations or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of your
equipment. If they do, you will be notified in advance to give you an opportunity
to maintain uninterrupted telephone service.
