Regulatory Compliance

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

Part 68 of FCC Rules Information

a) This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the bottom of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company.

b) A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premise’s 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, RJ11C USOC, 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.

c) The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a 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. For products

approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX.

The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.

d) If this telephone equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn’t 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 in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.

f) If trouble is experienced with this telephone equipment, for repair or warranty information, please contact Clarity at 1-800-426-3738. If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved.

Regulatory Compliance

g) This telephone equipment is not intended to be repaired and it contains no repairable parts. Opening the equipment or any attempt to perform repairs will void the warranty. For service, call 1-800-426-

3738. h) Connection to party line service

is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission, public service commission or corporation commission for information.

i) If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of this telephone equipment does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.

j) This telephone equipment is hearing aid compatible.

Customer-Owned Coin/ Credit Card Phones

To comply with state tariffs, the telephone company must be given notification prior to connection. In some states, the state public utility commission, public service commission or corporation commission must give prior approval of connection.

1.Where it can be done safely, reorient the receiving television or radio antenna.

2. To the extent possible, relocate the television, radio or other receiver with respect to the telephone equipment. (This increases the separation between the telephone equipment and the receiver.)

Regulatory Compliance

3. Connect the telephone equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the television, radio or other receiver is connected.

4. Consult the dealer or an experienced Radio/TV Technician for help.

WARNING: Changes or modifications

not expressly approved by the manufacturer responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Industry Canada Technical Specifications

This product meets the applicable Industry Canada technical specifications.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the company’s inside wiring associated with a single line individual service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations. Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier.

Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or

equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.

Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.

WARNING: Users should not attempt

to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
