PART 15 LIMITATIONS
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in
a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio fre-
quency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment
in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will
be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
FCC REQUIREMENTS
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA.
On the side of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in
the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone com-
pany.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Ex-
cessive REN's on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming
call. In most but not all areas, the sum of the REN's should not exceed five (5.0) To be certain of the
number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total REN's, contact the
local telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part
of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are
the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately
shown on the label.
The plug used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply
with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. If your home has spe-
cially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of this PA-2A
does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment,
consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.
If the PA-2A causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance
that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But 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 ad-
vance notice in order for you to make the necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.
