Part 68 FCC Compliance Statement
(FCC ID : 4JSNG-25441-M5-E)
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. On the equipment 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 your telephone company.
Connection to the telephone network should be made by using standard modular telephone jack type RJ11.
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have all
of those 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 five (5.0). 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 to determine
the maximum REN for your calling area.
If your telephone equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may discontinue
your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance. But if advance notice is not practical, you
will be notified as soon as possible. You will be informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could
affect the proper functioning of your equipment. If they do, you will be notified in advance to give you an
opportunity to maintain uninterrupted telephone service.
In the event this equipment should fail to operate properly, disconnect the unit from the telephone line. Try
using another FCC approved telephone in the same telephone jack. If the trouble persists, call the telephone
company repair service bureau. If the trouble does not persist and appears to be with this unit, disconnect the
unit from the telephone line and discontinue use of the unit until it is repaired. Please note that the telephone
company may ask that you disconnect this equipment from the telephone network until the problem has been
corrected or until you're sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning.
This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company. Connection to party lines
is subject to state tariffs.
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a computer or other
electronic device to send any message via a telephone fax machine unless such message clearly contains in a
margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time
it is sent and an identification of the business or other entity, or individual sending message and the telephone
number of the sending machine or such business, or entity, or individual.
This user information can be programmed in the communication software you are using with your equipment.
Repair or Service Information
In the event of the need for service or repair, carefully package the unit along with a note of the problem and
send it to the address below or the authorized service center nearest you. Be sure to include your address (not a
P.O Box), telephone number and best time to call.

Canadian Department of Communications Notice
The Canadian Department of Communications (DOC) 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, make sure you are permitted to connect it to the facilities of the local
telecommunications company. You must install the equipment using a acceptable method of connection. In
some cases you may also extend the company's inside wiring for single line individual service by means of
certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). You should be aware, however, 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 designed by the
supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by a user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the
telephone communications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
For your own protection, make sure that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines
and internal metallic water pipe systems, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly
important in rural areas.
Caution: Do not attempt to make electrical ground connections yourself; contact the appropriate
electric inspection authority or an electrician.
The load number (LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the percentage of the total load to be connected
to the telephone loop used by the device, to prevent overloading. The termination on a loop may consist of any
combination of devices, subject to the requirement that the total of the load numbers of all the devices does not
exceed 100.

In the event of the need for service or repair, carefully package the unit along with a note of the problem and
send it to the address below or the authorized service center nearest you . Be sure to include your address (not a
P.O Box), telephone number and best time to call.
