NOTICE TO MODEM USERS IN THE USA
The 8084 and 8084AD Caption Encoders comply with the FCC Rules Part
68. The caption encoder is designed to be used on standard device
telephone lines. It connects to the telephone line by means of a standard
jack called the USOC RJ11C and should be connected to the telephone
network with a FCC compliant telephone cord and modular plug.
It is not necessary to notify the telephone company before connecting the
modem in the caption encoder.
However, the telephone company may
request the telephone number to which the caption encoder modem is
connected and the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence number
(REN), both of which are on the label on the rear panel.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices you may legally
connect to your telephone line. In most areas, the sum of the REN of all
devices connected to one line must not exceed five (5.0). You should contact
your telephone company to determine the maximum REN for your calling
area.
The caption encoder may not be used on coin service provided by the
telephone company. Connection to party lines is subject to state tariffs.
If the modem in the caption encoder is malfunctioning, it may affect the
telephone lines. In this case, disconnect the modem until the source of the
difficulty is traced.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTICE
FOR A RELIABLE TELEPHONE CONNECTION TO THE MODEM IN THIS
CAPTION ENCODER A DIRECT TELEPHONE LINE MUST BE USED. THIS
LINE MUST NOT PASS THROUGH A PBX OR SIMILAR KEY DEVICE.
