IMPORTANT TELEPHONE COMPANY & FCC INFORMATION
CAUTION : TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK
AND PERSONAL INJURY, DO NOT OPEN CABINET.
WE SUGGEST THAT YOU REVIEW THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION
PROVIDED BY THE FCC (FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION).
FCC REGISTRATION
This telephone set is registered with the FCC based upon compliance with Part 68 of its rules. Con-
nection of this telephone to the nationwide telecommunications network must be through a standard
network jack (RJ11W or RJ11C) which you can order from your telephone company, if not already
installed.
NOTE : FCC registration does not constitute an expressed or implied guarantee of performance. Only
the Lenoxx warranty in this booklet covers the performance of this telephone set.
IMPORTANT FCC INFORMATION
In the event that terminal equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company
should notify the customer,if possible,that service may be stopped. However, where prior notice is
impractical, the company may temporarily cease service providing that they:
1. promptly notify the customer.
2. give the customer an opportunity to correct the problem with their equipment.
3. inform the customer of the right to bring a complaint to the Federal Communications Commission
pursuant to procedures set out in FCC Rules and Regulations Subpart E of Part 68.
The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment, operations or
procedures, where such action is reasonably required in the operation of its business and is not
inconsistent with the rules and regulations in FCC Part 68. If such changes can be reasonably ex-
pected to render any customer terminal equipment incompatible, the customer shall be given adequate
notice in writing, to allow the customer an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service.
RINGER EQUIVALENCE NO. (REN):
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still
have all of those 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 five (5.0). 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 to determine the maximum REN for your calling area.
NOTE :
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pur-
suant 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, try the following:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for assistance.
GENERAL
The FCC prohibits customer-provided terminal equipment to be connected to party lines or to be used
in conjunction with coin telephone service.
This phone is hearing aid compatible.
