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 num-
ber and ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. If
requested, this information 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 modular plug is provided with this equipment. This
equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone net-
work or premises wiring using a compatible 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 tele-
phone 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 certain of the number of
devices that may be connected to the line, as determined 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 ser-
vice 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 necessary modifications in
order to maintain uninterrupted service.

Disconnection in case of trouble and location of repair cen-
ter - If trouble is experienced with the Receiver, please contact
BI Incorporated. If the equipment is causing harm to the tele-
phone network, the telephone company may request that you
disconnect the equipment from the network until the problem
is resolved.
Repairs customers can make - There are no customer-ser-
viceable parts inside the BI HomeGuard Receiver. (Power and
phone cords are replaceable on the BI HomeGuard Receiver.)
Prohibitions - Connection to party lines or to telephone
company coin service is prohibited.
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 Techni-
cal Requirements document(s). The Department does not guar-
antee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it
is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local tele-
communications company. The equipment must also be
installed using an acceptable method of connection. The cus-
tomer should be aware that compliance with the above condi-
tions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a
representative designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alter-
ations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment mal-
functions, may give the telecommunications company cause to
request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the elec-
trical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines
and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are con-
nected together. This precaution may be particularly important
in rural areas.
Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connec-
tions themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric
inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

tion is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device
may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must

sion reception, which can be determined by turning the equip-
ment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
