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.
