Caution: Only qualified persons should service the system.
The installation and service of this hardware is to be performed only by service personnel
having appropriate tr ainin g an d exper ience n ece ssary to be a ware of haz ards t o which t hey
are exposed in perf or ming a task and of measur es to mi ni mize t he danger to themselves or
other persons.
Electrical shock hazards from the telecommunication network and AC mains are possible
with this equipment. To minimize risk to service personnel and users, the Business
Communications Manager system mu st be connected to an out let with a third-wir e ground.
Service personnel must be alert to the possibility of high leakage currents becoming
available on metal syste m surfaces during powe r line fault eve nts near network li nes. These
leakage currents normally safely flow to Protective Earth ground via the power cord.
Therefore, it is mandatory that connection to an earthed outlet is performed first and
removed last when cabling to the unit. Specifically, operations requiring the unit to be
powered down must have the network connections (central office lines) removed first.

Telecommunication Registratio n
Business Communications Manager eq uipme nt meets all appli cable r equire ments of both Indu stry
Canada CS-03 and US Federal Commission FCC Part 68 and has been registered under files
Industry Canada 332D-5980A and FCC US:AB6KF15B20705 (key system),
US:AB6MF15B20706 (hybrid system), and US:AB6PF15B23740 (PBX system). Connection of
the Business Communications Manager telephone system to the nationwide telecommunications
network is made through a standard network interface jack that you can order from your local
telecommunications co mp any. This type of cust omer-provided equipment cannot be u sed on party
lines or coin lines.
Before installing this equipment, use rs should en sure that it is permissible to be connected to the
facilities of th e loca l tel eco mmunica tions company. The equipment must al so be in st alled using a n
acceptable method of connection. 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 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 ens ure for their own protec tion tha t the elec tric al ground connec tions
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.
Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but
should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician.

Ringer Equivalence Number
The FCC Registration label (on bot tom of phone ), includes a Ringer Equivalence Number (REN),
which is used to det ermine t he number of devices you may conn ect to y our phone line. A hi gh total
REN may prevent phones from ringin g in response to an inco ming call and may make placing calls
difficult. In most areas, a total REN of 5 should permit normal phone operation. To determine the
total REN allowed on your telephone line, consult your local telephone company.
Hearing Aids
This phone is compatible with hearing aids equipped with an appropriate telecoil option.
Programming Emerge ncy Nu mb er s
When programming emergency numbers and/or making test calls to emergency numbers:
