Regulatory Information
The following sections describe the product requirements from two different regulatory
bodies: the Federal Communications Commission (FCC, U.S. only) and the Canadian
Department of Communications (DOC, Canada only).
Notice to Users of the U. S. Telephone Network:
FCC Requirements
This equipment complies with FCC rules, Part 68. On this equipment is a label that
contains, among other information, the FCC Registration Number and Ringer
Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, provide this information
to your telephone company.
An FCC compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this equipment.
This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises
wiring using a compatible modular jack which is Part 68 compliant. This equipment
connects to the telephone network through the following standard network interface
jack: USOC RJ-11C.
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your
telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your number is called. Too
many devices on one line may result in failure to ring in response to an incoming call.
In most, but not all, areas the sum of the RENs of all devices 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 call your local telephone company to determine the
maximum REN for your calling area.
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, your telephone company may
discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance. If
advance notice is not practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will also
be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or
procedures that could affect the proper operation of your equipment. If they do, you
will be given advance notice so you will have the opportunity to maintain uninterrupted
service.
