1. Connection and Use with Nationwide Telephone Network

The FCC requires that you connect your telephone equipment to the

nationwide telephone network through a modular telephone outlet or

jack. The modular telephone outlet or jack to which the equipment

must be connected is a USOC RJ11C.

If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone

company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of

service may be required. If advance notice isn’t practical, the

telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also,

you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you

believe it is necessary.

The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment,

operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of the

equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will provide

advance notice in order for you to make the necessary modifications in

order to maintain uninterrupted service.

If trouble is experienced with this equipment, please contact your

dealer for repair and(or) warranty information. If the trouble is causing

harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request

you remove the equipment from the network until the problem is

resolved.

Registered equipment may not be used on telephone company Coin

Telephone Lines. Equipment may be used with Party Lines in areas

where state tariffs permit such connections and when equipment is

adaptable for such use.

2. Information You May Need to Supply the Telephone Company

Upon request of your local telephone company, you are required to

provide them with the following information:

A. The lines to which you will connect the telephone equipment.

B. The FCC registration number and Ringer Equivalence Number

(REN). Both numbers are listed on the equipment label. The REN is

useful to determine how many devices you may connect to your

telephone line and still have them ring when your telephone line is

called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of all RENs per line should

be 5 or less. You may want to contact your local telephone company.

The local telephone company must also be notified upon final

disconnection of the equipment from the local telephone company

lines.
