Telephone company information (US)

FCC identification number

The Ringer Equivalence Number and FCC Registration Number for this equipment may be found on the label located

on the bottom or rear of the machine. In some instances you may need to provide these numbers to the telephone

company.

Ringer equivalence number

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is a measure of the electrical load placed on the telephone line, and is useful

for determining whether you have overloaded the line. Installing several types of equipment on the same telephone

line may result in problems making and receiving telephone calls, especially ringing when your line is called.

The sum of all Ringer Equivalence Numbers of the equipment on your telephone line should be less than five in order

to assure proper service from the telephone company. In some cases, a sum of five may not be usable on your line.

If any of your telephone equipment is not operating properly, you should immediately remove it from your telephone

line, as it may cause harm to the telephone network.

Warning

FCC Regulations state that changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the manufacturer

could void the user s authority to operate this equipment.

In the event that terminal equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company should notify the

customer 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 equipment problem.

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.

You should also know that:

Your Samsung FAX machine is not designed to be connected to a digital PBX system.

Special features, such as Call Waiting , may interrupt FAX service, and we suggest that these services not be

installed on the FAX line.

If you intend to use a computer modem or fax modem on the same phone line as your FAX machine, you may

experience transmission and reception problems with all the equipment. It is recommended that no other equipment,

except for a regular telephone, share the line with your FAX machine.

If your area experiences a high incidence of lightning or power surges, we recommend that you install surge protectors

for both the power and the telephone lines. Surge protectors can be purchased from your dealer or telephone and

electronic specialty stores.

When programming emergency numbers and/or making test calls to emergency numbers, use a non-emergency

number to advise the emergency service dispatcher of your intentions. The dispatcher will give you further instructions

on how to actually test the emergency number.

This equipment may not be used on coin service or party lines.

This telephone provides magnetic coupling to hearing aids.

You may safely connect this equipment to the telephone network by means of a standard modular jack, USOC RJ-11C.
