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.
Part 15 of FCC Rules
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate low-level radio frequency energy. It has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in Part 15J
of the FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a
residential installation. If the equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception (which
can be determined by unplugging it from the telephone line and the electrical outlet), the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Where it can be done safely, reorient the radio or TV receiving antenna.
• Where possible, relocate the television, radio, or other receiver with respect to the telephone
equipment.
• Plug the telephone AC Adapter into an outlet on a different circuit than used by the radio or
television.
• Consult a dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions.
