NFORMATION
Your telephone equipment is approved for connection to the Public
Switched Telephone Network and is in compliance with parts 15 and
68, FCC Rules and Regulations and the Technical Requirements for
Telephone Terminal Equipment published by ACTA.
1
Notification to the Local Telephone Company
On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among
other information, the US number and Ringer Equivalence
Number (REN) for the equipment. You must, upon request,
provide this information to your telephone company.
The REN is useful in determining the number of devices
you may connect to your telephone line and still have all
of these devices ring when your telephone number is
called. In most (but not all) areas, the sum of the RENs of
all devices connected to one line 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 contact
your local telephone company.
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the
premises wiring and telephone network must comply with
the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements
adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and
modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed
to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also
compliant. See installation instructions for details.
Notes
•
This equipment may not be used on coin service
provided by the telephone company.
•
Party lines are subject to state tariffs, and therefore, you
may not be able to use your own telephone equipment
if you are on a party line. Check with your local
telephone company.
•
Notice must be given to the telephone company upon
permanent disconnection of your telephone from your line.
•
If your home has specially wired alarm equipment
connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation
of this product does not disable your alarm equipment.
If you have questions about what will disable alarm
equipment, consult your telephone company or a
qualified installer.
2
Rights of the Telephone Company
Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may
harm the telephone network, the telephone company shall,
where practicable, notify you that temporary discontinuance of
service may be required. Where prior notice is not practicable
and the circumstances warrant such action, the telephone
company may temporarily discontinue service immediately. In
case of such temporary discontinuance, the telephone company
must: (1) promptly notify you of such temporary discontinuance;
(2) afford you the opportunity to correct the situation; and (3)
inform you of your right to bring a complaint to the Commission
pursuant to procedures set forth in Subpart E of Part 68, FCC
Rules and Regulations.
The telephone company may make changes in its
communications facilities, equipment, operations or
procedures where such action is required in the operation of
its business and not inconsistent with FCC Rules and
Regulations. If these changes are expected to affect the use or
performance of your telephone equipment, the telephone
company must give you adequate notice, in writing, to allow you
to maintain uninterrupted service.
