1.1 Equipment Approval
Information
Your telephone equipment is
approved for connection to the
Public Switched Telephone Network
and is in compliance with parts 15 and
68, FCC Rules and Regulations and
the Technical Requirements for
Telephone Terminal Equipment
published by ACTA.
1.1.1 Notification to the Local
Telephone Company
On the bottom of this equipment is a
label indicating, among other
information, the US number and
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN)
for the equipment. You must, upon
request, provide this information to
your telephone company.
The REN is useful in determining the
number of devices you may connect
to your telephone line and still have
all of these devices ring when your
telephone number is called. In most
(but not all) areas, the sum of the
RENs of all devices connected to one
line should not exceed 5. To be
certain of the number of devices you
may connect to your line as
determined by the REN, you should
contact your local telephone
company.
A plug and jack used to connect this
equipment to the premises wiring and
telephone network must comply with
the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and
requirements adopted by the ACTA.
A compliant telephone cord and
modular plug is provided with this
product. It is designed to be
connected to a compatible modular
jack that is also compliant. See
installation instructions for details.
Notes
• This equipment may not be used
on coin service provided by the
telephone company.
• Party lines are subject to state
tariffs, and therefore, you may not
be able to use your own telephone
equipment if you are on a party
line. Check with your local
telephone company.
• Notice must be given to the
telephone company upon
permanent disconnection of your
telephone from your line.
• If your home has specially wired
alarm equipment connected to the
telephone line, ensure the
installation of this product does
not disable your alarm equipment.
If you have questions about what
will disable alarm equipment,
consult your telephone company
or a qualified installer.
US Number is located on the cabinet
bottom.
REN Number is located on the
cabinet bottom.

4 Safety information
1.1.2 Rights of the Telephone
Company
Should your equipment cause trouble
on your line which may harm the
telephone network, the telephone
company shall, where practicable,
notify you that temporary
discontinuance of service may be
required. Where prior notice is not
practicable and the circumstances
warrant such action, the telephone
company may temporarily
discontinue service immediately. In
case of such temporary
discontinuance, the telephone
company must: (1) promptly notify
you of such temporary
discontinuance; (2) afford you the
opportunity to correct the situation;
and (3) inform you of your right to
bring a complaint to the Commission
pursuant to procedures set forth in
Subpart E of Part 68, FCC Rules and
Regulations.
The telephone company may make
changes in its communications
facilities, equipment, operations or
procedures where such action is
required in the operation of its
business and not inconsistent with
FCC Rules and Regulations. If these
changes are expected to affect the
use or performance of your
telephone equipment, the telephone
company must give you adequate
notice, in writing, to allow you to
maintain uninterrupted service.
1.2 Interference Information
This equipment generates and uses
radio frequency energy which may
interfere with residential radio and
television reception if not properly
installed and used in accordance with
instructions contained in this manual.
Reasonable protection against such
interference is ensured, although
there is no guarantee this will not
occur in a given installation. If
interference is suspected and verified
by switching this equipment on and
off, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
Reorient the radio/television
receiver’s antenna, relocate the
equipment with respect to the
receiver, plug the equipment and
receiver into separate circuit outlets.
The user may also wish to consult a
qualified radio/television technician
for additional suggestions. This
equipment has been fully tested and
complies with all limits for Class B
computing devices pursuant to part
15 FCC Rules and Regulations. This
device complies with RSS-210 of
Industry Canada. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (1)
This device may not cause
interference, and (2) This device must
accept any interference, including
interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device.
This device complies with Part 15 of
the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
ID555_IFU_US_EN.book Page 4 Thursday, June 26, 2008 4:43 PM
Safety information 5
to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful
interference; and (2) This device must
accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential
installation.
This equipment generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a
particular installation.
Privacy of Communications may not
be ensured when using this product.
If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment 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 (that is, the antenna for
radio or television that is
“receiving” the interference).
• Reorient or relocate and increase
the separation between the
telecommunications equipment
and receiving antenna.
• Connect the telecommunications
equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which
the receiving antenna is
connected.
If these measures do not eliminate
the interference, please consult your
dealer or an experienced radio/
television technician for additional
suggestions. Also, the Federal
Communications Commission has
prepared a helpful booklet, “How To
Identify and Resolve Radio/TV
Interference Problems.” This booklet
is available from the U.S. Government
Printing Office, Washington, D.C.
20402. Please specify stock number
004-000-00345-4 when ordering
copies.
Notice: The changes or modifications
not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate
the equipment.
