Telephone company procedures

The goal of the telephone company is to provide you with the best service it can. In order to do this, it may occasionally have to make changes in its equipment, operations or procedures. If these changes might affect your service or the oper- ation of your equipment, the telephone company will give you notice, in writing, to allow you to make any changes necessary to maintain uninterrupted service.

If you have any questions about your telephone line, such as how many pieces of equipment you can connect to it, the telephone company will provide this information upon request.

In certain circumstances, it may be necessary for the telephone company to request information from you about the equipment which you have connected to your telephone line. Upon request of the telephone company, provide the FCC registration number and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) of the equipment which is connected to your line. Both of these numbers are listed on the equipment label attached to your fax machine.

The sum of all RENS on your telephone line should be fewer than five (5) in order to assure proper service from the tele- phone company. Sometimes, a sum of five (5) may not be usable on a given telephone line.

Note: This equipment is hearing-aid-compatible (HAC).

Notice: The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a computer or other electronic device to send any message via a telephone fax machine unless such message clearly contains, either in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it was sent and an identification of the business or other identity, or other individual sending the message and the telephone number of the sending machine or such business, entity or individual. For instructions on programming this information (the TTI ) into your fax machine, see pages 1.18 1.19.

Type of service

Your fax is designed for use on standard-device telephone lines. The fax connects to the telephone line with a standard line called the USOC RJ-11. Connection to telephone-company-provided coin service (central-office-implemented systems). Connection to party line service is subject to State tariffs.

If problems arise

If any of your telephone equipment is not operating properly, you should immediately remote it from your telephone line, as it may cause harm to the telephone network. If the telephone company notes a problem, they may temporarily stop service. When practical, they will notify you before this disconnection. If advance notice is not feasible, you will be notified as soon as possible. When you are notified, you will be given the opportunity to correct the problem and will be informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.

In the event repairs are ever needed on your fax machine, they should be done by Muratec America, Inc., or an authorized representative of Muratec America, Inc. For information, contact the Muratec Customer Support Center at 800-347-3296 (from the U. S. only).

Industry Canada (IC) regulations

IC RINGER EQUIVALENCE NUMBER (REN): MFX-1200: 0.3, MFX-1600: 0.7.

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the interference-causing equipment standard entitled Digital Apparatus, ICES-003 of the Department of Communications.

Cet appareil numØrique respecte les limites de bruits radioØlectriques applicables aux appareils numØriques de Classe A prescrites dans la norme sur le matØriel brouilleur: Appareils NumØriques, NMB-003 ØdictØe par le Ministre des Communications.

Notice: The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified equipment. This certification means the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user s satisfaction.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. Sometimes, the company s inside wiring associated with a single-line individual service may be extended with a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with these conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.

Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any equipment malfunction, or repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.

Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.

Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority or electrician.

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface may consist of any combi- nation of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the RENs of all the devices does not exceed 5. The IC REN for your equipment is 0.3 (MFX-1200), 0.7 (MFX-1600).
