FCC Information  
Part 68 is a Federal regulation which requires equipment to be tested and registered with the  
FCC prior to its connection to the network. This equipment complies with Part 68 of FCC  
rules. On the bottom of the telephone is a label that contains, among other information, the  
FCC Registration Number and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment.  
You must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone company.  
The Ringer Equivalence Number, which is used to determine the number of devices you  
may connect to your phone line, indicates the amount of power that your telephone draws  
from the telephone company line during ringing. If you have more than one telephone (or  
other terminal device) connected to the telephone company line, you should total the ringer  
equivalence numbers (REN s), and be sure that the total is not more than five. Your tele-  
phones may not ring if the total is more than five. Also, in some rural locations, your  
telephone may not ring if the REN total is more than three.  
RESTRICTIONS You must not connect your telephone to coin-operated lines or party  
lines.  
69  
 
INSTALLATION This model telephone must be connected to the telephone company lines  
through a modular jack. The required USOC for the modular jack is RJ11C for desk mounting  
and RJ11W for wall mounting. The USOC number is printed on the label on the bottom of  
your telephone.  
HEARING-AID COMPATIBILITY The handset on your telephone will work with  
magnetically-coupled hearing aids. You can use a hearing aid equipped with a T (Telephone)  
switch.  
IN CASE OF TROUBLE If your telephone should cause problems on the telephone line,  
the telephone company can temporarily disconnect your service. The telephone company  
must then notify and allow you to correct the problem.  
The telephone company may from time to time change its lines or equipment. They must  
notify you if planned changes will affect your telephone service, to allow you to take steps to  
prevent interruptions.  
Part 15 regulates the electromagnetic energy emitted by equipment to minimize interference  
to radio, television, and other wireless devices. This telephone complies with Part 15 of the  
FCC Rules. In the unlikely event that interference occurs, move the telephone and/or radio,  
television, etc. to increase the separation distance.
