Consumer Information and FCC
Requirements
Telephone Connection
•
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the Federal
Communications Commission rules. These rules permit
this device to be directly connected to the telephone
network. Standardized jacks are used for these
connections. This equipment should not be used on party
lines or coin lines.
•
If this device is malfunctioning, it may also cause harm to
the telephone network; this device should be
disconnected until the source of the problem can be
determined and until it has been repaired. If this is not
done, the telephone company may temporarily
disconnect your service.
•
The telephone company may make changes in its
technical operations and procedures. If such changes
affect the compatibility or use of this device, the
telephone company is required to give adequate notice
of the changes.
•
If the telephone company requests information on what
equipment is connected to their lines, inform them of:
a The telephone number this unit is connected to
b The ringer equivalence number
c The USOC jack required: RJ-11C
d The FCC Registration Number
Items (b) and (c) are indicated on the label. The ringer
equivalence number (REN) is used to determine how
many devices can be connected to your telephone line. In
most areas, the sum of the RENs on any one line should
not exceed five (5.0). If too many devices are attached,
they may not ring properly.
•
In the event of equipment malfunction, the manufacturer
or an authorized repair center should perform all repairs.
It is the responsibility of users requiring service to report
the problem to the manufacturer, or an authorized agent.
Refer to "Where to Get Help" in this document for
contact information.

Canada Department of Communications
(DOC) Notice
Telephone Connection
The Canada Department of Communications label identifies
certified equipment. This certification means that the
equipment meets certain telecommunications network
protective, operational, and safety requirements. The
department does not guarantee the equipment will operate
to the user's satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, the user should ensure it is
permissible to connect it to the facilities of the local
communications company. The equipment must be installed
using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases,
the company's inside wiring associated with a single line
individual service may be extended by means of a certified
connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The
customer should be aware that compliance with the above
conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some
situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an
authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the
supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this
equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the
telecommunications company cause to request that the user
disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure, for their own protection, that the
electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone
lines, and internal metallic water pipe systems, if present,
are connected together. This precaution may be particularly
important in rural areas.
WARNING: Users should not attempt to make
such connections themselves, but should contact
the appropriate electrical inspection authority or
electrician, as appropriate.
WARNING: The Load Number .9 assigned to each
terminal device denotes the percentage of the
total load to be connected to a telephone loop;
this is used by the device to prevent overloading.
The termination on a loop may consist of any
combination of devices, subject only to the
requirement that the sum of the Load Numbers
does not exceed 100.
