FCC REGISTRATION INFORMATION
Your GE telephone equipment is registered with the Federal Communica-
tions Commission and is in compliance with parts 15 and 68, FCC Rules
and Regulations.
1 Notification to the Local Telephone Company
On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other
information, the FCC Registration number and Ringer Equivalence
Number (REN) for the equipment. You must, upon request, provide
this information to your telephone company.
The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you may
connect to your telephone line and still have all of these 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 5. 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.
Notes
• This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the
telephone company.
• Party lines are subject to state tariffs, and therefore, you may not
be able to use your own telephone equipment if you are on a party
line. Check with your local telephone company.
• Notice must be given to the telephone company upon permanent
disconnection of your telephone from your line.
2 Rights of the Telephone Company
Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm
the telephone network, the telephone company shall, where
practicable, notify you that temporary discontinuance of service may
be required. Where prior notice is not practicable and the
circumstances warrant such action, the telephone company may
temporarily discontinue service immediately. In case of such
temporary discontinuance, the telephone company must: (1) promptly
notify you of such temporary discontinuance; (2) afford you the
opportunity to correct the situation; and (3) inform you of your right to
bring a complaint to the Commission pursuant to procedures set forth
in Subpart E of Part 68, FCC Rules and Regulations.
The telephone company may make changes in its communications
facilities, equipment, operations of procedures where such action is
required in the operation of its business and not inconsistent with
FCC Rules and Regulations. If these changes are expected to affect
the use or performance of your telephone equipment, the telephone
company must give you adequate notice, in writing, to allow you to
maintain uninterrupted service.

INTERFERENCE INFORMATION
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference; and (2) This device must accept any interference received,
including interference 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 the equipment 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 (that is, the antenna for
radio or television that is “receiving” the interference).
• Reorient or relocate and increase the separation between the
telecommunications equipment and receiving antenna.
• Connect the telecommunications equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the receiving antenna is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your
dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional
suggestions. Also, the Federal Communications Commission has
prepared a helpful booklet, “How To Identify and Resolve Radio/TV
Interference Problems.” This booklet is available from the U.S.
Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. Please specify
stock number 004-000-00345-4 when ordering copies.
