This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the bottom of the base of this equipment
is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC Registration Number and Ringer Equivalence

The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still
have all ofthose devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum
of the КЕМ5 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
isn't practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will бе 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.
If you experience trouble with this telephone equipment, the Telephone Company may ask that you
disconnect this equipment from the network until the problem has been corrected or until you are 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.

| INSTALLATION
I. TELEPHONE LINE CONNECTIONS FOR THE SYSTEM
SELECT LOCATIONS
Each telephone should be as close as possible to a wall AC power outlet.
Wherever you intend to position each FT 484, have your telephone company install as
many outside line wall jacks (from one to four) as necessary to enable you to
connect each telephone.
You may wish to have 2 two-line wall jacks (В314С) instead of single-line wall jacks for
connecting Lines 1 and 2 and/or Lines 3 and 4.
NOTE:
If
the
Telephone
Company
installs,
for
example,
555-1000
on
Line
1,
then
555-1000
is on Line 1 wherever Line 1 is installed. The same applies to the telephone num-
bers instailed on Lines 2, 3 and 4.
it is important to connect all stations in the system to Line 1 so that the
Intercom will function.
CAUTION
Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack
IS specifically designed for wet locations.
Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless
the incoming telephone line has been disconnected at the
network interface.
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
