THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

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 If your telephone has a push- button dial, it may generate radio frequency energy. If not properly used, it may interfere with radio and television recep- tion. If the telephone does cause interference with reception, move the radio or television 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 If your telephone has a push-button TONE dial, you must have TONE service from your telephone company to use your telephone for dialing. If your telephone has a rotary dial, you are not required to have TONE service. Note that you will usually be charged extra for TONE service.

HEARING-AID COMPATIBILITY The handset on your tele- phone 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 interruptions.
