FCC REGULATORY STATEMENTS
FCC Part 68 Registration
This device complies with FCC Part 68 rules, and the use of this
device is subject to the following restrictions:
1. The FCC has established rules which permit this device to be
directly connected to the telephone network. Standardized jacks
are used for these connections. This equipment should not be
used on party lines or coin phones.
2. If this device is malfunctioning, it may also be causing harm to
the telephone network; this device should be disconnected until
the source of the problem can be determined and until repair has
been made. If this is not done, the telephone company may
temporarily disconnect service.
3. The telephone company may make changes in it's facilities,
equipment, operation and procedures; if such changes affect the
compatibility or use of this device, the telephone company is
required to give adequate notice of the situation with the FCC.
4. If the telephone company requests information on what
equipment is connected to their lines, inform them of:
a. The telephone number to which this unit is connected.
b. The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN).
c. The USOC jack required.
d. The FCC Registration number.
Items (b) and (d) are indicated on the label. The Ringer
Equivalence Number (REN) is used to determine how many
devices can be connected to your telephone line. In most areas, the
sum of the REN's of all the devices on any one line should not
exceed 5.0. If too many devices are attached, they may not ring
properly.
FCC Part 15 Registration
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interface, and
2. This device must accept any interface received including
interface 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
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.
 Increase the distance between the equipment and receiver
 Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
 Consult an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
CTR 21 pan-European Certification
This equipment has been approved in accordance with Council
Decision 98/482/EC for pan-European single terminal connection
to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). However, due to
differences between the individual PSTNs provided in different
countries, the approval does not, of itself, give an unconditional
assurance of successful operation on every PSTN network
termination point. In the event of problems, you should contact
your equipment supplier in the first instance.
This device is designed to work with the notified networks in all
EC member states. Nevertheless, some of the network services in
invidual countries might not be supported, but they will not affect
the normal data and fax applications. For example, the metering
charge service in Germany. Besides you may encounter difficulty
of using PULSE dialing function in some of the countries, such as
Nordic countries. This kind of network compatibility is dependent
on the physical and software settings of this device. If the users
are desired to use this device on those networks, they should
contact the vendor or supplier first.
