IMPORTANT TELEPHONE COMPANY&
FCC INFORMATION
Your telephone equipment is approved for connection to the Public Switched Telephone
Network and is compliance with part 68, FCC Rules and Regulations and the Technical
Requirements for Telephone Terminal Equipment published by ACTA.
1. Notification to the Local Telephone Company
On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information, the
US number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment. You must,
upon request, provide this information to your telephone company.
The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you may connect to your
telephone line and still have all of these devices ring when your telephone number is
called. In most (but not all) areas, the sum of the REN of all devices connected to one
line should not exceed 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.
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone
network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted
by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this
product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also
compliant. See installation instructions for details.
Notes
* This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company.
* Party lines are subject to state tariffs, and therefore, you may not be able to use your
own telephone equipment if you are on a party line. Check with your local telephone
company.
* Notice must be given to the telephone company upon permanent disconnection of
your telephone from your line.
* If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line,
ensure the installation of this product does not disable your alarm equipment.
If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone
company for a qualified installer.
2. Rights of the Telephone Company
Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the telephone
network, the telephone company shall, when possible, notify you that temporary
discontinuance of service may be required. Where prior notice is not possible and the
circumstances warrant such action, the telephone company may temporarily
discontinue service immediately. In case of such temporary discontinuance, the
telephone company must: (1) promptly notify you of such temporary discontinuance;
(2) afford you the opportunity to correct the situation; and (3) inform you of your right
to bring a complaint to the Commission pursuant to procedures set forth in Subpart E
of Part 68, FCC Rules and Regulations.
The telephone company may make changes in its communication facilities, equipment,
operations or procedures where such action is required in the operation of its
business and not inconsistent with FCC Rules and Regulation. If these changes are
expected to affect the use or performance of your telephone equipment, the phone
company must give you adequate notice, in writing, to allow you to maintain
un-interrupted service.
