Preface
Audience
This manual is written for the attending officer who will train the
client, set up the equipment, and monitor the client.
United States FCC, Part 68
Compliance statement - This equipment complies with Part 68 of
the FCC rules. On the bottom of the Receiver is a label that contains,
among other information, the FCC registration number and ringer
equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, this infor-
mation must be provided to the telephone company.
Jack type needed - The Receiver connects to the telephone network
with a USOC RJ11C jack. An FCC compliant telephone cord and mod-
ular plug is provided with this equipment. This equipment is designed to
be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using a com-
patible modular jack which is Part 68 compliant.
Explanation of the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) - The REN
is used to determine the quantity of devices which may be connected to
the telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in
the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not
all areas, the sum of the RENS should not exceed five (5.0). To be cer-
tain of the number of devices that may be connected to the line, as deter-
mined by the total RENs, contact the telephone company to determine
the maximum REN for the calling area.
Temporary discontinuance of service - If the Receiver causes harm
to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in
advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But
if advance notice isn’t practical, the telephone company will notify the
customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to
file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.
Telephone company changes - The telephone company may make
changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could
affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens, the telephone
company may provide advance notice in order for you to make the nec-
essary modifications in order to maintain uninterrupted service.
Disconnection in case of trouble and location of repair center - If
trouble is experienced with the Receiver, please contact BI Incorpo-
rated. If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the
telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment
from the network until the problem is resolved.

Industry Canada
NOTICE: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment.
This certification means that the equipment meets telecommunications
network protective, operational and safety requirements as prescribed in
the Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements document(s). The
Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s
satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is per-
missible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunica-
tions company. The equipment must also be installed using an
acceptable method of connection. The customer should be aware that
compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of
service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a represen-
tative designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the
user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the tele-
communications 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 together. This pre-
caution may be particularly important in rural areas.
Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections them-
selves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority,
or electrician, as appropriate.
NOTICE: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each
terminal device denotes the percentage of the total load to be connected
to a telephone loop which is used by the device to prevent overloading.
The termination on a loop may consist of any combination of devices
subject only to the requirement that the total of the Ringer Equivalence
Number of all the devices does not exceed 5. The REN for the Home-
Guard 200 is 0.7B.
