GE 23200 User Manual

Your telephone equipment is approved for connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network and 

is in compliance with parts 15 and 68, FCC Rules and Regulations and the Technical Requirements for 

Telephone Terminal Equipment published by ACTA.

 

On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information, the US number and Ringer 

Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your 

telephone company.

 

The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still 

have all of these devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most (but not all) areas, the sum of 

the RENs of all devices connected to one line should not exceed 5. To be certain of the number of devices 

you may connect to your line as determined by the REN, you should contact your local telephone company.

 

A plug and jack 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. A compliant telephone cord 

and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack 

that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details.

Notes  
•  This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company.
•  Party lines are subject to state tariffs, and therefore, you may not be able to use your own telephone  

equipment if you are on a party line. Check with your local telephone company.

•  Notice must be given to the telephone company upon permanent disconnection of your telephone from 

your line.

•  If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation 

of this product does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm 

equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.

 

Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the telephone network, the telephone 

company shall, where practicable, notify you that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. 

Where prior notice is not practicable and the circumstances warrant such action, the telephone company 

may temporarily discontinue service immediately. In case of such temporary discontinuance, the telephone 

company must: (1) promptly notify you of such temporary discontinuance; (2) afford you the opportunity 

to correct the situation; and (3) inform you of your right to bring a complaint to the Commission pursuant 

to procedures set forth in Subpart E of Part 68, FCC Rules and Regulations.

 

The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment, operations or 

procedures where such action is required in the operation of its business and not inconsistent with FCC 

Rules and Regulations. If these changes are expected to affect the use or performance of your telephone 

equipment, the telephone company must give you adequate notice, in writing, to allow you to maintain 

uninterrupted service.
