Telephone connections
Your Modem Board has been designed and constructed to conform
to
feder-
al regulations and can be connected to the phone line as described in this
manual.
Please note that each product connected to the telephone line places a cer-
tain load on the line. This is designated as the unit’s “Ringer Equivalence
Numbed’
When using more than one product on the line, total all the ringer equiva-
lence numbers. If they total more than
5,
your phone may not ring. In rural
areas, a total of
3
may impair ringer operation. To be sure, check with your
local telephone company.
The registration number as well as ringer equivalence number appears on the
FCC label located on the Modem Board.
Warning:
The Modem Board must not be connected to coin-operated phones
and party-line phones.
