2. FCC REQUIREMENTS

(1) The AI-900 complies with FCC Rules, Part 68. On this equipment is a label which contains, among other

information, the FCC Part 68 registration number.

(2) The ringer equivalence number (REN) is used to determine the quality of devices which may be

connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company.

Note: RENs are associated with loop-start and ground-start ports. It is not used for E&M and digital ports.

The REN assigned to the AI-900 is 0.4. If requested, this information must be given to the telephone company.

(3) In the event of equipment malfunction, all repairs should be performed by AIPHONE CORPORATION or

an authorized agent. It is the responsibility of users requiring service to report the need for service to AIPHONE CORPORATION or to one of our authorized agents. Service can be facilitated through our office at:

AIPHONE CORPORATION 1700-130th Ave., N.E. Bellevue, Washington 98009 Phone (425) 455-0510

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.

(4) If the AI-900 disrupts the telephone network, the telephone company can discontinue your service

temporarily. If possible, the telephone company will notify you in advance. If advance notice is not practical, they will notify you as soon as possible. You are also informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.

(5) The telephone company can make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that can

affect the operation of your equipment. If they do, you should be notified in advance so you have an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted telephone service.

(6) While the AI-900 is fully compliant with FCC rules and regulations, it is recommended that an alternating

current (ac) surge arrestor of the form and capability suitable for the model purchased be installed in the ac outlet to which the AIPHONE CORPORATION products are connected. Consult with your distributor as to the surge protector requirements for your equipment.

(7) The FCC rules require that the following Affidavit be completed by the installer and forwarded to the local

exchange carrier, whenever digital terminal equipment without encoded analog content and billing protection is used to transmit digital signals containing encoded analog content, which are intended for eventual conversion into Voiceband analog signals and retransmitted on the network.

(8) The AI-900 has been tested and comply 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 operated 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 required to correct the interference in the user's expense.

CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS NOT EXPRESSLY APPROVED BY AIPHONE CORPORATION COULD VOID THE USER'S AUTHORITY TO OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT.

3. INDUSTRY CANADA REQUIREMENTS

(1) ''NOTICE: This equipment meets the applicable Industry Canada Terminal Equipment Technical

Specifications. This is confirmed by the registration number. The abbreviation, IC, before the registration number signifies that registration was performed based on a Declaration of Conformity indicating that Industry Canada technical specifications were met. It does not imply that Industry Canada approved the equipment."

(2) ''NOTICE: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this terminal equipment is 0.4.

The REN assigned to each terminal equipment provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed five.''

(3) "The abbreviation, IC, before the registration number signifies that registration was performed based on a

Declaration of Conformity indicating that Industry Canada technical specifications were met. It does not imply that Industry Canada approved the equipment.

(4) This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.

Cet appareil numérique de la classe A est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.

4. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AI-900 Security System is a voice communication system that permits calls to be quickly and easily made - even in emergency situations - with the touch of single button. The system can record conversations, and features external equipment sync output and operation log output. These features combine to make the AI-900 an ideal system for voice security applications.

5. FEATURES

• Modular construction facilitates installation, maintenance, and system expansion.

• Rack- or wall-mountable exchange.

• Up to 4 master stations (or commercial telephone sets) and 64 substations can be connected per exchange.

• Up to 2 outside telephone (C/O) lines can be connected per exchange.

• Station paging (by means of the substation speaker) and external paging functions.

• External sound source distribution capability.

• Up to 19 paging zones can be established.

• Emergency Paging function.

• By connecting an external recording device, the conversations at the master station (or telephone set) and at the outside line telephone can be recorded.

• Exchange operating log can be transmitted to a PC.

• Tie-line possible for up to 16 exchanges.

• 24 V DC input for connection of backup power supply.

• Manual/Automatic Call Forwarding, Conference, Scan Monitor functions.

6. INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

• To prevent the unit's failure, be sure to switch off its power when inserting or removing the card.

• When mounting each card, fully insert it into the Main Frame. After all cards are mounted, secure them with the card fixing bracket.

• When the unit gets dirty with dust or oil, wipe down with a soft, dry cloth. Never use a chemically-treated cleaning cloth or volatile liquids, such as benzine and thinner, because the unit's plastic parts may be deformed or its finish discolored.

• All units except the AI-RS170 and AI-RS180 Substations are designed exclusively for indoor use. Do not install them outdoors.

• The whole system will not operate without power supply.

• In areas where broadcasting stations are close by, the system operation may be affected by radio frequency interference.

• Keep DC wiring at least 30 cm away from AC wiring. Otherwise, the system may malfunction.
