FCC REGISTRATION INFORMATION
Your GE telephone equipment is registered with the Federal Communications Commission and is in
compliance with parts 15 and 68, FCC Rules and Regulations.
1. Notification to the Local Telephone Company
On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating among other information, the FCC Registration
number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment. You must, upon request, provide
this information to your telephone company.
The REN is useful to determine the number of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still
have all these 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 5. 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.
NOTES; This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company.
Party lines are subject to state tariffs, and therefore, you may not be able to use your own telephone
equipment if you are on a party line. Check with your local telephone company.
Notice must be given to the telephone company upon permanent disconnection of your telephone from
your line.
2. Rights of the Telephone Company.
Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the telephone network, the telephone
company shall, where practicable, notify you that temporary discontinuance of service may be required.
Where prior notice is not practicable and the circumstances warrant such action, the telephone company
may temporarily discontinue service immediately. In case of such temporary discontinuance, the telephone
company must; (1) promptly notify you of such temporary discontinuance, (2) afford you the opportunity
to correct the situation and (3) inform you of your right to bring a complaint to the Commission pursuant
to procedures set forth in Subpart E of Part 68, FCC Rules and Regulations.
The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment, operations of
procedures where such action Is required in the operation of its business and not inconsistent with FCC
Rules and Regulations. If these changes are expected to affect the use or performance of your telephone
equipment, the telephone company must give you adequate notice, in writing, to allow you to maintain
uninterrupted service.
INTERFERENCE INFORMATION
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for radio or television that is "receiving"
the interference).
• Reorient or relocate and increase the separation between the telecommunications equipment and
receiving antenna for radio or television that is "receiving” the interference).
• Connect the telecommunications equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiving antenna is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer or an experienced
radio/television technician for additional suggestions. Also, the Federal Communications Commission
has prepared a helpful booklet, "How 7b Identify and Resolve Radio/TV Interference Problems”. This
booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. Please specify
