Telephone Company and F.C.C.
Requirements and Responsibilities
(b) Changes in Telephone Company Communications Facilities, Equipment, Operations
and Procedur&.
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.
Note:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is
operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his
own expense.
Ringer Equivalence No. (REN):
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 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.
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 hours or late
evenings.
