IMPORTANT USER INFORMATION
The ELAN Home Systems Z•600 Comm Controller has been registered with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in
accordance with Parts 68 of its rules. On the bottom of the Z•600 Series Comm Controller is a label that contains, among other infor-
mation, the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, this number must be
given to the telephone company.
FCC Registration Number: 5J7USA-23107-MA-T
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN): 1.1B
Load Number (LN): 12B
The REN is useful in determining the quantity of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have all those devices ring
when your number is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of all RENs of all devices connected to one line should not exceed five
(5.0). To find out the number of devices you may connect to your line, as determined by the REN, contact your local telephone compa-
ny for 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 isn’t practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will be
notified 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 func-
tioning of your equipment. If they do, you will be notified in advance to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted telephone
service. If you experience trouble with this telephone equipment, please contact ELAN TECHNICAL SUPPORT at 1-606-269-7760 for
information on obtaining service or repairs. The telephone company may ask that you disconnect this equipment from the network until
the problem has been corrected or until you are sure the equipment is not malfunctioning.
If the telephone features are not functioning or are malfunctioning, switch off the Z•600 Comm Controller (located on the rear panel).
This will directly connect the telephone line with all the telephones connected to the package. Contact your dealer for repairs.
This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company. Connection of party lines is subject to state tar-
iffs. (Contact your state public utility commission for information).
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following conditions: (1) This device may not cause harm-
ful interference and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
ELAN Home Systems strongly recommends the use of a quality in-line Telephone Surge
Suppressor, as the Z•600 is the hub of your telephone wiring network. This device should be
installed between the incoming telephone service line and the Z•600’s TELCO IN jack. If your
installer has not installed such a device, please insist that they do so. For additional protection on
large wiring networks, surge suppression can also be added in series with the Z•600’s PHONE
OUT jack, protecting your house network and Z•600 from surge in both directions.
Although the installation of telephone line surge suppression is an important precautionary mea-
sure to take in protecting your Z•600 from surge-related damage, it does not completely eliminate
the possibility of surges entering into the system through the telco line due to near or direct lightning strikes. ELAN Home
Systems does not warranty this, or any product against surge-related damage; nor does this warning imply that, if surge protec-
tion is installed and the unit is subsequently damaged by surge, ELAN Home Systems would repair or replace the unit under
warranty. Please consult the warranty policy of the surge protection device you are installing for information on product
repair/replacement in the event of surge-related damage.
DISCLAIMER:
The ELAN Z•600 Comm Controller is an advanced design capable of interfacing with most telecommunication devices and central
office switches. It has been thoroughly tested and should work satisfactorily with most telephone equipment. However, ELAN in no
way represents, guarantees, or claims that the ELAN Z•600 Comm Controller will achieve 100% functionality with every manufactur-
er’s telephone equipment or with every central office feature.
