FCC Compliance: Federal Communications Commission Radio and Television Interface Statement for a Class ‘B’ Device

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 interference in the 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 the 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 of the following measures:

 Increase the separation between the equipment and the affected receiver

 Connect the equipment on a circuit different from the one the receiver is on

 Ensure that the cover plate for the security card is secured and tight

Changes or modification not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Declaration of Conformity: According to 47 CFR, Parts 2 and 15 for Class B Personal Computers and Peripherals; and/or CPU Boards and Power Supplies used with Class B Personal Computers, Motorola, Inc., 6450 Sequence Drive, San Diego, CA 92121, 1-800-225-9446, declares under sole responsibility that the product identifies with 47 CFR Part 2 and 15 of the FCC Rules as a Class B digital device. Each product marketed is identical to the representative unit tested and founded to be compliant with the standards. Records maintained continue to reflect the equipment being produced can be expected to be within the variation accepted, due to quantity production and testing on a statistical basis as required by 47 CFR 2.909. Operation is subject to the following condition: This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. The above named party is responsible for ensuring that the equipment complies with the standards of 47 CFR, Paragraphs 15.107 to 15.109

FCC Part 68 Statement:

other information, the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN) for the equipment. If requested, this information must be provided to

the telephone company.

The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices that 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 the RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number

of devices that may be connected to the line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the telephone company to determine the maximum REN for the

calling area.

This equipment uses the following USOC jack: RJC. An FCC-compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this equipment. This equipment is

designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using a compatible modular jack that is Part 68 compliant. This equipment cannot be

used on telephone company-provided coin services. Connection to Party Line Service is subject to state tariffs.

If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that the temporary discontinuance of services

may be required. 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 compliant with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.

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 to maintain uninterrupted service.

This equipment complies with part 68 of the FCC rules. On the rear panel of this equipment is a label that contains, among

If the trouble is causing harm to the telephone system, the telephone company may request that you remove the equipment from the network until the

problem is resolved.

It is recommended that the customer install an AC surge arrestor in the AC outlet to which this device is connected. This is to avoid damaging the

equipment by local lightning strikes and other electrical surges.

Canadian Compliance: This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations. Cet appareil numérique de la classe B respects toutes les exigences du Règlement sur le matériel brouilleur du Canada.

Industry Canada CS-03 Statement:

telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements

document(s). The department does not guarantee that the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.

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. The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions

might not prevent degradation of service in some situations. Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative designated by the

supplier. Repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions may give the telecommunication 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. Users should not attempt to make such connections

themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) of this device is 0.4. The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device 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 devices does not exceed 5. The telephone

connection arrangement is a CA11A.

Repairs: If repair is necessary, call the Motorola Repair Facility at 1-800-227-0450 for a Return for Service Authorization (RSA) number before sending the unit. The RSA number must be prominently displayed on all equipment cartons. Pack the unit securely; enclose a note describing the exact problem, and a copy of the invoice that verifies the warranty status. Ship the unit PRE-PAID to the following address:
