2. This product is intended to be connected to Listed/Certified telephone wiring with a minimum of 24 AWG (.5 mm) behind a Listed/Certified primary protector.

3. Do not attempt to install or service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous high-voltage points or other risks. Refer all installation and servicing to qualified service personnel.

4. When installed in the final configuration, the product must comply with the applicable Safety Standards and regulatory requirements of the country in which it is installed. If necessary, consult with the appropriate regulatory agencies and inspection authorities to ensure compliance.

5. In addition, since the equipment is to be used with telecommunications circuits, take the following precautions:

— Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm. — Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically

designed for wet locations.

— Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone

line has been disconnected at the network interface.

Notice to Users of the Telephone Network

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the inside of the wall plate is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company.

This equipment is intended to be hard wired to the telephone line’s primary protector and to the inside building wiring. The 6-position modular wall jack is designed to be connected to compatible modular plugs which are Part 68 compliant.

The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices which 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 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.

If the Wall Jack Filter 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.

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.

If trouble is experienced with the Telephone Line Filter, for repair or warranty information, please refer to Warranty, Sales, Service, and Training Information.

No repairs may be performed by the end user. The equipment can not be used on public coin phone service provided by the
