DESIGN COMPLIANCE
Your telephone is designed to comply with
FCC Rules and Regulations, Part 68. It can be connected to the
telephone network as FCC-registered terminal equipment. The
registration number is printed on the label on the bottom of your
telephone.
NOTIFICATION TO THE TELEPHONE COMPANY
As a customer
of the local telephone company, you must, if they ask, tell them
before connecting your telephone to the telephone company lines.
The telephone company may need the FCC registration number and
the ringer equivalence of the telephone. This information is printed
on a label on the bottom of your telephone.
RINGER EQUIVALENCE
The ringer equivalence indicates the
amount of power that your telephone draws from the telephone
company line during ringing. The number is printed on the label on
the bottom of your telephone.
If you have more than one telephone (or other terminal device)
connected to the telephone company line, you should total the
ringer equivalence numbers (REN’s), and be sure that the total is
not more than five. Your telephones may not ring if the total is more
than five. Also, in some rural locations, your telephone may not ring
if the REN total is more than three.
RESTRICTIONS
You must not connect your telephone to coin-
operated lines or party lines.
INTERFERENCE POTENTIAL
Your telephone has a pushbutton
dial that generates radio frequency energy. If not properly used,
it may interfere with radio and television reception. If the telephone
does cause interference with reception, move the radio or televi-
sion to another electrical circuit or another location. If necessary,
you may need to seek advice from an experienced technician.
INSTALLATION
This model telephone must be connected to the
telephone company lines through a modular jack. The required
USOC for the modular jack is RJ11C for desk mounting and RJ11W
for wall mounting. The USOC number is printed on the label on the
bottom of your telephone.
TYPE OF DIALING
Your telephone has a TONE/PULSE switch that
allows Tone or Pulse dialing. To use TONE dialing, you must have
TONE service from your telephone company to use your telephone
for dialing. Note that you will usually be charged extra for TONE
service.
HEARING-AID COMPATIBILITY
The handset on your telephone
will work with magnetically-coupled hearing aids. You can use a
hearing aid equipped with a T (Telephone) switch.
IN CASE OF TROUBLE
If your telephone should cause problems
on the telephone line, the telephone company can temporarily
disconnect your service. The telephone company must then notify
and allow you to correct the problem.
The telephone company may from time to time change its lines or
equipment. They must notify you if planned changes will affect your
telephone service, to allow you to take steps to prevent interrup-
tions.
