FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW
Your new product has been registered with the Federal Communication
Commission (FCC). This product complies with standards in Part 68 of the FCC
Rules. The FCC requires us to provide you with the following information:
Connection and Use with the Nationwide
Telephone Network
The FCC requires that you connect your product to the nationwide
telephone network through a modular telephone outlet or jack. The
modular telephone outlet or jack to which the telephone must be
connected is a USOC RJ-11C or RJ-11W. This equipment may not be
used with Party Line Service or with Coin Telephone Lines.
Notification to the Telephone Company
The FCC requires that upon request of your local telephone company,
you provide the following information: a) The “line” to which you
will connect the telephone equipment (that is, your phone number),
and b) The telephone equipment’s FCC registration number and
ringer equivalence number (REN). These numbers are on the back or
bottom of your telephone equipment. The REN is used to determine
how many devices you may connect to your telephone line and still
have them ring when your telephone line is called. In most, but not
all areas, the sum of all REN’s should be 5 or less. You may want to
contact your local telephone company.
Repair Instructions
If it is determined that your telephone equipment is malfunctioning,
the FCC requires that it not be used and that it be unplugged from
the modular outlet until the problem has been corrected. Repairs to
the telephone equipment can only be made by the manufacturer or
its authorized agents or by others who may be authorized by the FCC.
For repair procedures, follow instruction outlined under the “Limited
Warranty”.

company may temporarily discontinue your telephone service. If possible,
they’ll notify you before they interrupt service. If advance notice isn’t
practical, you’ll be given the opportunity to correct the problem, and you
will be informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC notified
as soon as possible. Your telephone company may make changes in its
facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the
proper functioning of your product. If such changes are planned, you will
be notified.
Interference Information: Part 15 of FCC Rules
Some telephone equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radiofrequency energy and, if not installed and used properly, may cause
interference to radio and television reception. Your product has been
tested and found to meet the standards for a Class B digital device,
as specified in Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These specifications are
designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference
in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If your product
causes interference to radio or television reception when it is in
use, you might correct the interference with any one or all of these
measures: (a) where it can be done safely, reorient the receiving
television or radio antenna. (b) To the extent possible, relocate the
television, radio or other receiver with respect to the telephone
equipment. (c) If your telephone product runs on AC power, plug
your product into an AC outlet that is not on the same circuit as the
one used by your radio or television.
