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, 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.

Part 15 of FCC Rules Information

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Your equipment has been tested and

found to comply with the limits of a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in residential installation.

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation; if this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

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.)

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.

Privacy of communications may not be

ensured when using this phone.

WARNING: To maintain the compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure guideline, place the base unit at least 20 cm from nearby persons.

For body worn operation, this handset has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with the Clarity and Plantronics accessories supplied or designated for this product. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidlines.

WARNING: Changes or modiﬁcations to this equipment not expressly approved by the party 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.

The Ringer Equivalence Number is 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.

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.

(The term “IC:” before the certiﬁcation/registration number only signiﬁes that the Industry Canada technical speciﬁcations were met.)
