GE 21115 Manuel D’Utilisation

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.
1  Notification to the Local Telephone Company
  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.

•  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.

2  Rights of the Telephone Company 
  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.
