List of FCC requirements and information

If required by the telephone company, inform them of the following.

FCC Registration No.:

(found on the bottom of the unit)

Ringer Equivalence No.:

(found on the bottom of the unit)

The particular telephone line to which the equipment is connected.

This unit must not be connected to a coin operated line. If you are on a party line, check with your local telephone company.

Ringer Equivalence Number (REN):

This REN is useful in determining the quantity of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most but not all areas, the sum of the REN’s of all devices connected to one line should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line, as determined by the REN, you should contact your local telephone company to determine the maximum REN for your calling area.

In the event that terminal equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company should notify the customer, if possible, that service may be stopped. However, where prior notice is impractical, the company may temporarily cease service providing that they:

a)Promptly notify the customer.

b)Give the customer an opportunity to correct the problem with their equipment.

c)Inform the customer of the right to bring a complaint to the Federal Communication Commission pursuant to procedures set out in FCC Rules and Regulations Subpart E of Part 68.

The Telephone Company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment operations, or procedures where such action is reasonably required in the operation of its business and is not inconsistent with the rules and regulations in FCC Part 68. If such changes can be reasonably expected to render any customer terminal equipment incompatible with telephone company communications facilities, or require modification or

alteration of such terminal equipment, or otherwise materially affect its use or performance, the customer shall be given adequate notice in writing, to allow the customer an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service.

CAUTION:

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this device.

When programming emergency numbers and/or making test calls to emergency numbers:

1.Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call before hanging up.

2.Perform such activities in the off-peak hours; such as early morning or late evenings.

This telephone provides magnetic coupling to hearing aids.
