Important Information
Standard Telephone and FCC Notices
These notices are in effect on models sold and
used in the United States only.
When programming emergency numbers and/or 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
premise’s wiring using a compatible modular jack that is Part 68 compliant. See
the Installation section of this manual for details.
The REN is useful in determining 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 MFC-9700 damages the
telephone line, the telephone company may discontinue your service
temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance. 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.
