Government Requirements - Paradyne 3615 Quick Reference Manual

Government Requirements

Certain governments require that instructions pertaining to connection to the telephone
network be included in the installation and operation manual. Specific instructions are
listed in the following sections.
Notice to Users of the Digital Data Service
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the bottom of the equipment
is a label or silk-screened text that contains, among other information, the FCC
registration number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. If
requested, please provide this information to your telephone company.
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your
telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your number is called. In
most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices should not exceed 5. To be
certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line, as determined by the
REN, you should call your local telephone company to ascertain the maximum REN for
your calling area.
If your DSU causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may
discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance. But if
advance notice is not practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will be
advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.

given advance notice so as to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted
service.
The DBM cannot be used on public coin-operated telephone service provided by the

the state public utility commission, public service commission, or corporation
commission for information.)

equipment, refer to Warranty, Sales, and Service Information inside the cover of this
