VM-DACT FCC compliance
Cautions
• To ensure proper operation, this dialer must be installed according to the enclosed installation instructions. To
verify that the dialer is operating properly and can successfully report an alarm, it must be tested immediately
after installation, and periodically thereafter, according to the enclosed test instructions.
• In order for the dialer to be able to seize the phone line to report an alarm or other event when other customer
equipment (telephone, answering system, computer modem, etc.) connected to the same line is in use, the
dialer must be connected to a properly installed RJ-31X jack. The RJ-31X jack must be connected in series
with, and ahead of, all other equipment attached to the same phone line. Series installation of an RJ-31X jack
is depicted in the wiring diagram. If you have any questions concerning these instructions, you should consult
your telephone company or a qualified installer.
Testing
When programming emergency numbers or making test calls to emergency numbers, remain on the line and
briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call. Perform programming and testing activities in the off-peak
hours, such as early morning or late evenings.
Compliance
• For equipment approved before July 23, 2001: This dialer complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. A label
attached to the dialer contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence
number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company.
For equipment approved after July 23, 2001: This dialer complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the
requirements adopted by the Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA). A label attached to the
dialer contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested,
this information must be provided to the telephone company.
• The plug and jack used to connect the dialer to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with
the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by ACTA. The dialer must be connected to a
compliant RJ-31X or RJ-38X jack using a compliant cord. If a modular telephone cord is supplied with the
dialer, it is designed to meet these requirements. See installation instructions for details.
• A ringer equivalence number (REN) is used to determine how many devices you can connect to a telephone
line. If the total REN value for all devices connected on a telephone line exceeds that allowed by the
telephone company, the devices may not ring on an incoming call. In most (but not all) areas the total REN
value should not exceed 5.0. To be certain of the total REN value allowed on a telephone line, contact the
local telephone company.
For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN is part of the product identifier in the format
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits ## represent the REN without a decimal point. Example: 03 is an REN of
0.3. For earlier products the REN is listed separately.
• If the dialer is harming the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that
temporary discontinuance of service may be required. If advance notice is not practical, the telephone
company will notify you as soon as possible. You will also be advised of your right to file a complaint with the
FCC, if you believe it is necessary.
• The telephone company may make changes to its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could
affect the operation of the dialer. If this happens, the telephone company will provide advance notice in order
for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.
• If you are experiencing problems with the dialer, contact the manufacturer for repair or warranty information. If
the dialer is harming the telephone network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect the
dialer until the problem is resolved.
