VIII. Federal Communications Commission Information
This device has been granted a registration number by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC), under part 68 rules and regulations for
direct connection to telephone lines. In order to comply with these FCC rules, the
following instructions must be carefully read and applicable portions followed
completely. These instructions must be provided to the consumer.
A. This equipment complies with part 68 of the FCC rules. A label located on an
outside surface of this equipment contains, among other information, the FCC
registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN). If requested, this
information must be provided to the Telephone Company.
B. As indicated below, the suitable jack (USOC connecting arrangement) for this
equipment is shown. If applicable, the facility interface codes (FIC) and service
order codes (SOC) are shown.
C. The ringer equivalence number (REN) is used to determine the quantity of
devices which, when connected to the telephone line, may result in the device
not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all, areas, the sum
of the REN’s should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the maximum
number of devices that may be connected to the line, as determined by the total
REN’s, contact the Telephone Company to determine the maximum REN for
the calling area.
D. If this equipment (indicated with trade name and model) causes harm to the
Telephone Network, the Telephone Company will notify you in advance. If
advance notice is not practical, the Telephone Company will notify the
customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.
E. The Telephone Company may make changes to its facilities, equipment,
operations or procedures that could affect the operation of this equipment. If
this happens, the Telephone Company will provide advance notice in order for
you to make the necessary modifications needed in order to maintain
uninterrupted service.
F. If trouble is experienced with this equipment, (indicated below with trade
name and model, together with a service center in the U. S. A. address and
telephone number), contact the manufacturer for repair and/or warranty
information. If the trouble is causing harm to the Telephone Network, the
Telephone Company may request that you remove the equipment from the
Network until the problem is resolved. User repairs must not be made. Doing
so voids the warranty.
G. This equipment must not be used on Telephone Company provided public coin
service. Connection to party lines is subject to State Tariffs, (contact your State
Public Utility Commission for information). If so required, this equipment is
hearing aid compatible (HAC).
