REGULATORY INFORMATION

FCC Part 68 Compliance

These telephones are hearing-aid compatible and comply with Part 68 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules. On the bottom of the phone is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the phone. If requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company.

Installation

The modular telephone outlet or jack to which the telephone must be connected is a Universal Service Order Code (USOC) RJ11C or RJ11W. For modem interface purposes on two-line models, the connection may be made using a USOC RJ14 type jack. The telephones are registered to operate in Central Office (CO), private branch exchange (PABX), key system and Centrex applications. The phones cannot be used on telephone company-provided coin service. Connection to Party Line Service is subject to state tariffs.

Ringer Equivalence Number

The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices which may be connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all, areas the sum of the RENs should not exceed 5. To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to the line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the telephone company to determine maximum REN for calling area.

Incidence of Harm

If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. If advance notice isn't practical, the telephone company will notify you as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.

Telephone Company Rights

The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make the necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.
