FCC Rules, Part 15

The Siemens optiPoint telephone has been tested and complied with the limits for a class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequen- cy energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, can cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a res- idential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference in the user’s expense.

FCC Rules, Part 68

FCC Part 68 Certification

The Siemens optiPoint telephone is certified with FCC under Part 68 as a component de- vice for connection behind FCC Part 68 certified Siemens PBX systems. In order for the FCC certification of the Siemens optiPoint telephone to be retained, all other products used in conjunction with the Siemens optiPoint telephone must also be FCC Part 68 certi- fied for use with the front-end terminal equipment. If any of these components are not cer- tified, Siemens is required to obtain FCC Part 68 certification of the assembled equipment prior to connection to the telephone network. Part 68 certification requires Siemens to maintain this approval and as such are responsible for the following:

–Any component added to the Siemens optiPoint telephone, whether it bears compo- nent certification or not, will require a Part 68 compliance evaluation. Siemens may need to test and make a modification filing to the FCC before that new component can be used;

–Any modification/update made to the Siemens optiPoint telephone will require a Part 68 compliance evaluation. Siemens may need to test and make a modification filing to the FCC before that modified component can be used;
