ACTA TIA/EIA/IS-968A, FCC Part 68 and IC CS-03
Notice: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means the equipment
meets telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements as prescribed in the
appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements document(s). The department does not
guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of
the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method
of connection. The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent
degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative designated by the supplier. Any
repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the
telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure, for their own protection, that the electrical ground connections of the power utility,
telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This
precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.
A label is located on the underside of the base unit containing both the FCC registration number and
Ringer Equivalency Number (REN) or the IC registration number and Load Number. You must, upon
request, provide this information to your local telephone company.
The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices that may be connected to the telephone line.
Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming
call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5). To be certain of the number of
devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone
company.
If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that you
disconnect the equipment until the problem is corrected.
This equipment cannot be used on public coin telephone services provided by the telephone company.
Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs.
The FCC requires that you connect your cordless telephone to the nation-wide telephone network through
a modular telephone jack (USOC, RF11C, RJ11W, or RJ14).
Your telephone company may discontinue your service if your equipment causes harm to the telephone
network. They will notify you in advance of disconnection, if possible. During notification, you will be
informed of your right to file a complaint to the FCC.
Occasionally, your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operation, or
procedures that could affect the operation of your equipment. If so, you will be given advance notice of the
change to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service.
