The FCC Wants You To Know

This telephone is registered with the Federal Communications Commission and it complies with Part 15J and Part 68 of the FCC Rules and Regulations. Modifying or tampering with the telephone’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate the telephone’s warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it.

The FCC requires us to provide you with the following information:

1. The FCC requires that you connect to a nationwide telephone network through a modular telephone outlet that is Part 68 compliant. This telephone cannot be used with coin service provided by the telephone company. Connection to party lines is subject to state tariffs. Check with your local telephone company.

2. FCC rules require that, upon request, you provide the following information to the telephone company: A. The line (telephone number) to which you will connect the telephone equipment.

B. The FCC Registration Number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). These numbers can be found on a label on the bottom of your telephone equipment.

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN), which is used to determine the number of devices you may connect to your phone line, indicates the amount of power that your telephone draws from the telephone company line during ringing. If you have more than one telephone (or other terminal device) connected to the telephone company line, you should total the RENs 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.

3. If it is determined that your telephone equipment is malfunctioning, the FCC requires that it not be used and be unplugged from the modular outlet until the problem has been corrected. Repairs to this telephone equipment can be made only by the manufacturer or its authorized agents, or by others who may be authorized by the FCC. Unauthorized repairs void registration and warranty.

4. The telephone company may discontinue service if the telephone is determined to cause harm to the telephone network. In this case, the telephone company will:

A. If possible, notify the customer in advance that the service is being discontinued. B. Provide the customer with the opportunity to correct the situation.

C. Inform the customer of their right to file a complaint with the FCC.

Your local telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of your equipment. If they do, you will be notified in advance to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted telephone service.

5. This telephone is Hearing Aid Compatible.

6. When programming or testing emergency numbers, or making test calls to emergency numbers: A. Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call before hanging

up.

B. Perform such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evening.
