Notice to Users of Public DATAPHONE® Digital Service

The following instructions are provided to ensure that you comply with FCC Rules, Part 68.

1.All direct connections to DDS lines must be made through standard plugs and jacks furnished by the telephone company. No connections can be made to party lines or coin lines. Before connecting your unit, you must do the following:

a.Tell your local telephone company that you have an FCC registered device and that you wish to connect to the company’s line. Provide them with the 14-digit FCC registration number listed on the device’s label. They will also need to know the facility interface code and service code to connect the necessary service. For your unit, the facility interface code is 04DU5-56 for 56 kbps service. The service code is 6.0Y.

b.Inform the local telephone company of the jack arrangement you want to use, which is RJ-48S.

c.Connect the channel service unit (CSU) with the appropriate cable after the telephone company has installed the requested jack.

2.If the unit appears to be malfunctioning, it should be disconnected from the telephone line until you learn if your equipment or the telephone line is the source of the trouble. If your equipment needs repair, it should not be reconnected until it is repaired.

3.The CSU is designed to prevent harm to the DDS network. If the telephone company ﬁnds that the equipment exceeds tolerance parameters, the telephone company can temporarily disconnect service, although they will attempt to give you advance notice if possible.

4.Under FCC Rules, no customer is authorized to repair this equipment. This restriction applies regardless of whether the equipment is in or out of warranty.

5.If the telephone company alters their equipment or operations in a manner that will affect use of this device, they must give you advance warning so as to give you the opportunity for uninterrupted service. You will be advised of your right to ﬁle a complaint with the FCC.

The Canadian Department of Communications label identiﬁes certiﬁed equipment. This certiﬁcation means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational, and safety requirements. The Department does not guarantee 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.

of connection. In some cases, the company’s inside wiring associated with a single line individual service may be extended by means of a certiﬁed connector assembly (telephone extension cord). 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 Canadian 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 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.
