FCC INFORMATION
Part 68 is a Federal regulation which requires equipment to be tested and registered with
the FCC prior to its connection to the network. This equipment complies with Part 68 of
FCC rules. On the bottom of the telephone is a label that contains, among other
information, the FCC Registration Number and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN)
for this equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone
company.
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.
RESTRICTIONS You must not connect your telephone to coin-operated lines or party
lines.
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.
HEARING-AID COMPATIBILITY The handset on your telephone 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.
This telephone complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. In the unlikely event that
interference occurs, move the telephone and/or radio, television, etc. to increase the
separation distance.
