SPECIAL INFORMATION REGARDING TELECOMMUNICATIONS DEVICES
This device has been granted a registration number by the FCC under part
68 of the FCC rules for direct connection to telephone lines. In order to
comply with these rules, you must carefully read the following instruc¬
tions and completely adhere to applicable portions:
1. Direct connection of this device to the telephone lines may be made
only through the standard plug-ended cord furnished to the utility-
installed jack. No connection may be made to party or coin-operated
phone lines.
2. Prior to connecting the device to the telephone lines, call your tele¬
phone company and tell them that you have an FCC-registered device
that you wish to connect to their telephone lines. Give them the num¬
ber of the line(s) used, the make and model of the device, the FCC
registration number, and the ringer equivalence number. You will find
this information on the device itself or enclosed with its instruction
manual, as well as the jack suitable for your device.
3. After the telephone company has been advised of the above, you
may connect your device to the phone lines only if the proper jack is
available, or after the telephone company has made the installation.
4.
Repairs to the device may be made only by the manufacturer or its
authorized service agency. This applies at any time during and after the
manufacturer's warranty on the device. If any unauthorized repair is
performed, FCC registration, connection to the phone lines, and the
remainder of the manufacturer's warranty are rendered null and void.
5. If, through abnormal circumstances, this device causes harm to the
telephone lines, you should disconnect the device from the lines until
it can be determined if your device or the telephone lines is the source
of the trouble. If your device is the cause, it should not be reconnected
until necessary repairs are made.
6. Should the telephone company notify you that your device is caus¬
ing harm to their lines, you should disconnect the device immedi¬
ately. The telephone company will, where practical, notify you that
temporary discontinuance of service may be required. However, where
prior notice is not practical, the telephone company may temporarily
discontinue your phone service, if such action is necessary. In such
cases, the telephone company must: (a) promptly notify you of such
temporary discontinuance; (b) afford you the opportunity to correct the
condition; and (c) inform you of your right to bring a complaint to the
FCC under their rules and guidelines.
7. The telephone company may make changes to its facilities, equip¬
ment, operations, or procedures when such action is reasonably
required in its business and is not inconsistent with FCC rules. If
such changes are expected to render any customer's telecommuni¬
cations device incompatible with telephone company facilities, or
would require the modification of the device, or would materially
affect its performance, adequate written notification must be given
to the user so that the user may enjoy uninterrupted service.
