Warning: Modifying or tampering with the telephone's internal components can cause a
malfunction and might invalidate the telephone's warranty and void your FCC authorization
to operate it. If the trouble is harming the telephone lines, the telephone company might ask
you to disconnect the telephone until you have resolved the problem.
As it complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the technical requirements for connection
to telephone networks published by ACTA, your unit has been registered with the FCC.
The FCC requires us to provide you with the following information:
1. Connection and use with the nationwide telephone network:
The FCC requires that you connect to a nationwide telephone network through a modular
telephone outlet which is TIA/EIA-IS-968 compliant. It is USOC jack type RJ11C.
This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company.
Connection to party lines is subject to state tariffs. Check with your local telephone com-
pany.
2. Notification to the telephone company:
FCC rules require that upon request you provide the following information to the phone
company.
A. The line (telephone number) to which you will connect the telephone equipment, and
B. The Registration Number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). These numbers are
found on the back or bottom of your telephone equipment.
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your telephone
line and still have those entire devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most,
but not all areas, the sum all RENs should be 5 or less. To determine the number of
devices permitted in your area, contact your local telephone company.
3. Repair instructions:
If it is determined that your telephone equipment is malfunctioning, the FCC requires that
it not be used and be unplugged from the modular outlet until the problem has been corr-
ected. Repairs to this telephone equipment can be made only by the manufacturer or its
authorized agents, or by others who may be authorized by the FCC. Unauthorized repairs
void registration and warranty.
4. Rights of the telephone company:
If your product is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may
temporarily discontinue your service. 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 given
the opportunity to correct the problem, and you will be informed of your right to file a co-
mplaint with the FCC. Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equi-
pment, operations or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of your teleph-
one equipment. If such changes are planned, you will be notified in advance.
