The following paragraphs describe requirements and information based on FCC rules.
If you experience problem with the Siemens optiPoint 500 telephone, contact Siemens customer support at 1-800-835-7656 for information on service and repairs. The telephone company can ask you to disconnect the equipment from the network until the problem is corrected or until you are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning.
The Siemens optiPoint 500 telephone has been tested and complied 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 frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, can 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 in the user's expense.
| 1. | FCC Part 68 Certification The Siemens optiPoint 500 telephone is certified with FCC under Part 68 as a component device for connection behind FCC Part 68 certified Siemens PBX systems. In order for the FCC certification of the Siemens optiPoint 500 telephone to be retained, all other products used in conjunction with the Siemens optiPoint 500 telephone must also be FCC Part 68 certified for use with the front-end terminal equipment. If any of these components are not certified, Siemens is required to obtain FCC Part 68 certification of the assembled equipment prior to connection to the telephone network. Part 68 certification requires Siemens to maintain this approval and as such are responsible for the following: |
 |
Any component added to the Siemens optiPoint 500 telephone, whether it bears component certification or not, will require a Part 68 compliance evaluation. Siemens may need to test and make a modification filing to the FCC before that new component can be used; |
|
Any modification/update made to the Siemens optiPoint 500 telephone will require a Part 68 compliance evaluation. Siemens may need to test and make a modification filing to the FCC before that modified component can be used; |
|
Siemens optiPoint 500 telephone complies with and will continue to comply with all the applicable rules and regulations in Subpart D of the FCC Part 68 rules during the life-time of the product. |
|
If at any time the ownership of Siemens optiPoint 500 telephone is transferred to someone else (whether independently or as part of a system), please supply this manual to the new owner. |
| 2. | REN The ringer equivalence number (REN) is used to determine the quality of devices which 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 (5.0). At the base of the telephone is a label contains, among other information, the REN and the FCC certification number. If requested, this information must be given to the telephone company. 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. Note: REN is associated with the analog telephones. It is not applicable to Siemens optiPoint 500 telephone. If requested, please supply the FCC Certification numbers of the front-end host terminal equipment that have a direct Public Switched Telephone Network connection (i.e. have a REN stated on the label) and the highest REN. |
| 3. | Facility Interface Information Siemens optiPoint 500 telephone connects to the public switched telephone network through FCC Part 68 certified front-end host PBX equipment which specifies the type of network jacks to be used. |
| 4. | Disruption of the Network If the Siemens optiPoint 500 telephone disrupts the telephone network, the telephone company can discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, the telephone company will notify you in advance. If advance notice is not practical, they will notify you as soon as possible. You are also informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC. |
| 5. | Telephone Company Facility Changes The telephone company can make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that can affect the operation of your equipment. If they do, you should be notified in advance so you have an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted telephone service. |
| 6. | Hearing-Aid Compatibility Telephones for emergency use and telephones installed in common areas such as lobbies, hospital rooms, elevators, and hotel rooms must have handsets that are compatible with magnetically coupled hearing aids. Persons who are not in common areas must also be provided with hearing-aid compatible handsets, if needed. The Siemens optiPoint 500 telephone complies with the FCC Rules, Part 68, Section 68.316 Hearing Aid Compatibility and 68.317 volume control requirements. |
| 7. | Programmed Dialer Features When you program emergency numbers or make test calls to emergency numbers using Siemens products with programmed dialer features, stay on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call before hanging up. Perform these activities in off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evening. |
The following are notices required by Industry Canada Terminal Attachment Program Certification Procedure CP-01, Part I, Section 14.
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5. The REN is associated with the analog loop-start and ground-start telephones. It is not applicable to Siemens optiPoint 500 telephones.
The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirement documents. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that 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.
