the unlikely event that the problem is causing harm to the telephone network, your telephone
company may ask that the amplifier remain unplugged until the problem is corrected.
FCC INFORMATION: Your new headset complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. Your local phone
company may need to know the compliance information, which may include the Registration
