List of FCC requirements and information!
If required by the telephone company, inform them
of the following.
●FCC Registration No.:
(found on the rear of the unit)
●Ringer Equivalence No.:
(found on the rear of the unit)
●The particular telephone line to which the
equipment is connected.
This unit must not be connected to a coin operated
line. If you are on a party line, check with your local
telephone company.
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN):
This REN is useful in determining the quantity of
devices you may connect to your telephone line and
still have all of those devices ring when your
telephone number is called. In most but not all
areas, the sum of the REN’s of all devices connected
to one line should not exceed five (5.0). 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 to determine
the maximum REN for your calling area.
In the event that terminal equipment causes harm to
the telephone network, the telephone company
should notify the customer, if possible, that service
may be stopped. However, where prior notice is
impractical, the company may temporarily cease
service providing that they:
a) Promptly notify the customer.
b) Give the customer an opportunity to correct the
problem with their equipment.
c) Inform the customer of the right to bring a
complaint to the Federal Communication
Commission pursuant to procedures set out in
FCC Rules and Regulations Subpart E of Part 68.
The Telephone Company may make changes in its
communications facilities, equipment operations, or
procedures where such action is reasonably required
in the operation of its business and is not
inconsistent with the rules and regulations in FCC
Part 68. If such changes can be reasonably expected
to render any customer terminal equipment
incompatible with telephone company
communications facilities, or require modification or
alteration of such terminal equipment, or otherwise
materially affect its use or performance, the
customer shall be given adequate notice in writing,
to allow the customer an opportunity to maintain
uninterrupted service.
CAUTION:
Any changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate this device.
When programming emergency numbers and/or
making test calls to emergency numbers:
1. Remain on the line and briefly explain to the
dispatcher the reason for the call before
hanging up.
2. Perform such activities in the off-peak hours;
such as early morning or late evenings.
This telephone provides magnetic coupling to
hearing aids.
NOTE:
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. 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.
— 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 for help.
Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies
that may cause interference to nearby TVs and
VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference,
the base of the cordless telephone should not be
placed near or on top of a TV or VCR. If
interference is experienced, move the cordless
telephone further away from the TV or VCR. This
will often reduce, or eliminate, interference.
CAUTION:
To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements,
the base unit should be installed with its antenna
located at 20 cm or more from persons and
handset should be carried with the specific belt-clip
provided for the handset to ensure compliance.
Other non-tested belt-clips or similar body-worn
accessories may not comply, therefore, should be
avoided.
