Telephone Company Information
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.
• 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 elec-tronic 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.
