COMMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Your Walker
1.Connection and use with the nationwide telephone network
The FCC requires that you connect your product to the nationwide telephone net- work through a modular telephone outlet or USOC
2.Notification to the telephone company
Upon request of your local telephone company, you are required to provide them with the following information:
A. The “line” to which you will connect the telephone equipment (that is, your tele- phone number).
B. The telephone equipment’s FCC regis- tration number and ringer equivalent number (REN). These numbers are on the bottom of your telephone equipment. The REN is useful to determine how many devices you may connect to your tele- phone line and still have them ring when you are called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the REN’s should be five or less. You may want to contact your local telephone company for future information.
3. Repair Instructions
If it is determined that your telephone equipment is malfunctioning, the FCC requires that it not be used and that it be unplugged from the modular outlet until the problem has been corrected. Repairs to this telephone equipment can only be made by the manufacturer or its autho- rized agents, or by others who may be authorized by the FCC. For repair proce- dures, follow the instructions outlined under the Walker Limited Warranty.
4.Rights of the telephone company
If your product is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone com- pany may temporarily discontinue your telephone service. If advance notice isn’t practical, you’ll be notified as soon as possible. You’ll be given the opportunity to correct the problem, and you’ll be informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, operations, or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of your Walker telephone. If such changes are planned, you’ll be notified.
