FCC COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Digital Security Controls could void your authority to use this equipment.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interfer-ence in a 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, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Re-orient the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for help.
The user may find the following booklet prepared by the FCC useful: "How to Identify and
Resolve Radio/Television Interference Problems". This booklet is available from the U.S.
Government Printing Office, Washington D.C. 20402, Stock # 004-000-00345-4.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules and, if the product was approved
July 23, 2001 or later, the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the side of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier. If requested,
this number must be provided to the 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.
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN)
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.
Incidence of Harm
If this equipment (PC580, PC1555MX, PC1616, PC1832, PC1864, PC5010, PC5015, or
PC5020) 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 is
not 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.
Changes in Telephone Company Equipment or Facilities
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.

Additional Information
Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission, public service commission or corporation commission for information.
Alarm dialing equipment must be able to seize the telephone line and place a call in an emergency situation. It must be able to do this even if other equipment (telephone, answering system, computer modem, etc.) already has the telephone line in use. To do so, alarm dialing
equipment must be connected to a properly installed RJ-31X jack that is electrically in series
with and ahead of all other equipment attached to the same telephone line. Proper installation
is depicted in the figure below. If you have any questions concerning these instructions, you
should consult your telephone company or a qualified installer about installing the RJ-31X
jack and alarm dialing equipment for you.

IC STATEMENT
This product meets the applicable Industry Canada technical specifications. The Ringer
Equivalence Number is an indication of the maximum number of devices 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 RENs of all the devices
does not exceed five. The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for PC580, PC1555MX,
PC1616, PC1832, PC1864, PC5010, PC5015 and the PC5020 is 0.1.
This product meets the requirements of Class II, Grade 2 equipment as per EN 50131-1:2004
