Fcc Requirements - SBC -368 Owner's Manual Installation And Operating Instructions

F C C R E Q U I R E M E N T S
This equipment complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules and the technical Requirements
for connection to telephone network published by ACTA. A label on the BASE UNIT
of this equipment contains, among other information, the Registration Number and
the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. You must, upon request,
provide this information to your telephone company.
The REN is also useful in determining the number of devices that you may connect
to your telephone line and still allow all of these devices to ring when your telephone
number is called. In most areas, but not all, the sum of the RENs for all devices
connected to one line should not exceeded five (5.0). To be certain of the number of
devices you may connect to your line, contact your local telephone company.
If your equipment should cause harm to the telephone network, the telephone
company may temporarily disconnect your service. If possible, they will notify you in
advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required.
However, when advance written notice is not possible, the telephone company may
temporarily discontinue service without notice if such action is necessary under the
circumstances.
The telephone company may make changes in its communication facilities,
equipment, operations, or procedures where such action is reasonably required in
the operation of its business and is not inconsistent with the rules and regulations of
the Federal Communications Commission.
Do not attempt to repair or modify this equipment. Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party responsible for its compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
This equipment should not be used on coin telephone lines. Connection to party line
services are subject to state tariffs. If trouble is experienced, disconnect this
equipment from the telephone line to determine if it is causing the malfunction. If the
equipment is determined to be malfunctioning, its use should be discontinued until
the problem has been corrected.
Current FCC regulations specify that any direct connections to a telephone company
line be done using only standard phone jacks and plugs (USOC type RJ11C) that
meet TIA/EIA-IS-968 complaint.
