Ringer Equivalence: 0.5B
The particular telephone line to which the
equipment is connected.
This unit must not be connected to a coin operated
line. If you are on a party line, check with your local
telephone company.
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN):
This REN is useful in determining the quantity of
devices you may connect to your telephone line
and still have all of those devices ring when your
telephone number is called. In most but not all
areas, the sum of the REN’s of all devices
connected to one line should not exceed five (5.0).
To be certain of the number of devices you may
connect to your line, as determined by the REN,
you should contact your local telephone company
to determine the maximum REN for your calling
area.
In the event that terminal equipment causes harm
to the telephone network, the telephone company
should notify the customer, if possible, that service
may be stopped. However, where prior notice is
impractical, the company may temporarily cease
service providing that they:
a) Promptly notify the customer.
b) Give the customer an opportunity to correct the
problem with their equipment.
c) Inform the customer of the right to bring a
complaint to the Federal Communication
Commission pursuant to procedures set out in
FCC Rules and Regulations Subpart E of
Part 68.
The Telephone Company may make changes in its
communications facilities, equipment operations, or
procedures where such action is reasonably
required in the operation of its business and is not
inconsistent with the rules and regulations in FCC
Part 68. If such changes can be reasonably
expected to render any customer terminal
equipment incompatible with telephone company
communications facilities, or require modification or
alteration of such terminal equipment, or otherwise
materially affect its use or performance, the
customer shall be given adequate notice in writing.
to allow the customer an opportunity to maintain
uninterrupted service.
CAUTION:
To assure continued compliance with FCC rules, do
not make any unauthorized modifications.
When programming emergency numbers and/or
making test calls to emergency numbers:
1. Remain on the line and briefly explain to the

NOTES:
•The unit will not function during a power failure or when the power is turned off.
•Connection to integrated answering machines is not recommended.
•This unit is equipped with a 3-wire grounded type plug for safety. If you are unable to insert the
plug into your outlet, contact your electrician to replace your outlet.
•We recommend the use of an exclusive AC outlet to avoid interference from other equipment.
• Place the equipment close to the socket outlet so the socket is easily accessible.
• If your unit is connected to the same line as other extensions, do not use other extensions
during fax transmission and reception. Image quality will be affected.
• For additional equipment protection we recommend the use of a surge protector such as

it off.
NOTES;
• For optimum sound quality and performance, use the opposite side (side B) after six months and
replace the tape with a new one every year, assuming that the unit answers about ten calls a day.
• Never place a cassette tape near a magnetic source such as a magnet or a TV set because it
may erase or interfere with any messages on the tape.
