Information
1.1 Equipment Approval
Information
Your telephone equipment is approved
for connection to the public switched
telephone network and is in compliance
with parts 15 and 68, FCC Rules and
Regulations and the Technical
Requirements for Telephone Terminal
Equipment published by the ACTA.
1.1.1 Notification to the Local
Telephone Company
On the bottom of this equipment is a
label indicating, among other
information, the US number and Ringer
Equivalence Number (REN) for the
equipment. You must, upon request,
provide this information to your
telephone company.
The REN is useful in determining the
number of devices you may connect to
your telephone line and still have all of
these devices ring when your telephone
number is called. In most (but not all)
areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices
connected to one line should not exceed
5. 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.
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.
Notes
• This equipment may not be used on
coin service provided by the

you are on a party line. Check with
your local telephone company.
• Notice must be given to the
telephone company upon permanent
disconnection of your telephone from
your line.
• If your home has specially wired alarm
equipment connected to the

questions about what will disable
alarm equipment, consult your
telephone company or a qualified
installer.

1.1.2 Rights of the Phone
Company
Should your equipment cause trouble on
your line, which may harm the telephone
network, the telephone company shall,
where practicable, notify you that
temporary discontinuance of service may
be required. Where prior notice is not
practicable and the circumstances
warrant such action, the telephone
company may temporarily discontinue
service immediately. In case of such
temporary discontinuance, the telephone
company must:
(1) promptly notify you of such
temporary discontinuance; (2) afford you
the opportunity to correct the situation;
and (3) inform you of your right to bring
a complaint to the Commission pursuant
to procedures set forth in Subpart E of
Part 68, FCC Rules and Regulations.
The telephone company may make
changes in its communications facilities,
equipment, operations or procedures
where such action is required in the
operation of its business and not
inconsistent with FCC rules and
Regulations. If these changes are
expected to affect the use or
performance of your telephone
equipment, the telephone company must
give you adequate notice, in writing, to
allow you to maintain uninterrupted
service.
1.2 Interference Information
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful
interference; and (2) this device must
accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
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 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:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna (that is, the antenna for radio
or television that is “receiving” the
interference).
• Reorient or relocate and increase the
separation between the
telecommunications equipment and
receiving antenna.
4
Safety Information
• Connect the telecommunications
equipment to an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the
receiving antenna is connected.
If these measures do not eliminate the
interference, please consult your dealer
or an experienced radio / television
technician for additional suggestions.
Also, the Federal Communications
Commission has prepared a helpful
booklet, “How To Identify and Resolve
Radio/TV Interference Problems”. This
booklet is available from the U.S.
Government Printing Office,
Washington, D.C. 20402.
Please specify stock number 004-00000345-4 when ordering copies.
Notice: The changes or modifications
not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void
the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
