Fcc And Canadian Acta Regulations; Requirements For The United States - Philips Lifeline User Manual

FCC and Canadian ACTA Regulations

Your Philips Lifeline Cordless Phone Communicator has been registered with
the U. S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Canadian
Administration Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA), in accordance with
Part 15 and Part 68.

Requirements for the United States

Notice
The FCC requires that you connect your Lifeline Cordless Phone to the
nationwide telephone network through a modular telephone jack (USOC
RJ11C, R J11W or RJ14). This equipment may not be used with coin telephone
lines or party lines. Contact the state public utility commission, public service
commission or corporation commission for more information.
Notification for the Telephone Company
Upon request of your local telephone company, you are required to provide
them with the following information:
1. The "Line" to which you will connect your Lifeline Cordless Phone (that is,
your phone number); and
2. The Lifeline Cordless Phone's FCC Registration Number and Ringer
Equivalence Number (REN). Those numbers are on the bottom of your
Lifeline Cordless Phone. The REN is used to determine how many devices
may be connected to a telephone line.
Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in
response to an incoming call. In most, but not all, areas, the sum of RENs
should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may
be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact your local
telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for
this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US: AAAEQ##
TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point
(e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3).
Repair Information
If trouble is experienced with this equipment, please contact Philips Lifeline
for repair or warranty information. If the equipment is causing harm to the
telephone network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect
the equipment until the problem is resolved.
