GENERAL
The FCC prohibits customer-provided terminal equipment to be
connected to party lines or to be used in conjunction with coin
telephone service. This phone is hearing aid compatible.
FCC INFORMATION
FCC REGISTRATION
This telephone set is registered with the FCC based upon compliance
with Part 68 of its rules. Connection of this telephone to the nationwide
telecommunications network must be through a standard network jack
(RJ11W or RJ11C) which you can order from your telephone company,
if not already installed.
NOTE: FCC registration does not constitute an expressed or implied
guarantee of performance. Only the Limited Warranty in this
booklet covers the performance of this telephone set.
IMPORTANT FCC INFORMATION
In the event that terminal equipment causes harm to the telephone
network, the telephone company should notify the customer, if possible,
that service may be stopped. However, where prior notice is impractical,
the company may temporarily cease service providing that they:
1. Promptly notify the customer.
2. Give the customer an opportunity to correct the problem with
their equipment.
3. Inform the customer of the right to bring a complaint to the
Federal Communications Commission pursuant to procedures
set out in FCC Rules and Regulations Subpart E of Part 68.
The telephone company may make changes in its communications
facilities, equipment, operations or procedures, where such action is
reasonably required in the operation of its business and is not inconsistent
with the rules and regulations in FCC Part 68. If such changes can be
reasonably expected to render any customer terminal equipment
incompatible, the customer shall be given adequate notice in writing, to
allow the customer an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service.
RINGER EQUIVALENCE NO. (REN)
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
RENs of all devices connected to one line should not exceed five (5.0).
You should contact your local telephone company to get the number of
devices you may connect to your line, as determined by the REN.
NOTE :
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. 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. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, try the
following:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
