FCC INFORMATION
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules for the
United States. The telephone jack used on the CrystalTone Ringer
complies with FCC Part 68, Subpart F rules and regulations and is
an RJ11C. A label is located on the underside of the ringer
containing the FCC registration number and the Ringer
Equivalence Number (REN). You must, upon request, provide the
following information to your local telephone company: USOC
Jack Type: RJ11; REN: 1.0B.
The REN is used to determine the quantity 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 areas, the sum of RENs should not
exceed five (5.0). For more information, contact the local
telephone company.

AVIS D'INDUSTRIE CANADA
AVIS: L'étiquette d'Industrie Canada identifie le matériel
homologué. Cette étiquette certifie que le matériel est conforme
aux normes de protection, d'exploitation et de sécurité des
réseaux de télécommunications, comme le prescrivent les
documents concernant les exigences techniques relatives au
matériel terminal. Le Ministère n'assure toutefois pas que le
matériel fonctionnera à la satisfaction de l'utilisateur.
Avant d'installer ce matériel, l'utilisateur doit s'assurer qu'il est
permis de le raccorder aux installations de l'entreprise locale de
télécommunication. Le matériel doit également être installé en
suivant une méthode acceptée de raccordement. L'abonné ne doit
pas oublier qu'il est possible que la comformité aux conditions
énoncées ci-dessus n'empêche pas la dégradation du service dans
certaines situations.
Les réparations de matériel homologué doivent être coordonnées
par un représentant désigné par le fournisseur. L'entreprise de
télécommunications peut demander á l'utitisateur de débrancher
un appareil à la suite de réparations ou de modifications
effectuées par l'utilisateur ou à cause de mauvais fonctionnement.
Pour sa propre protection, l'utilisateur doit s'assurer que tous les
fils de mise à la terre de la source d'énergie électrique, des lignes
téléphoniques et des canalisations d'eau métalliques, s'il y en a,
sont raccordés ensemble. Cette précaution est particulièrement
importante dans les régions rurales.
AVERTISSEMENT: L'utilisateur ne doit pas tenter de faire ces
raccordements lui-même; il doit avoir recours à un service
d'inspection des installations électriques, ou à un électricien,
selon le cas.
AVIS: L'indice d'équivalence de la sonnerie (IES) assigné à
chaque dispositif terminal indique le nombre maximal de
terminaux qui peuvent être raccordés à une interface. La
terminaison d'une interface téléphonique peut consister en une
combinaison de quelques dispositifs, à la seule condition que la
somme d'indices d'équivalence de la sonnerie de tous les

OVERVIEW
INSTALLATION
The Ultratec CrystalTone Ringer lets you know when you receive a call.
Use it in addition to your telephone or in another part of your home or
office to help you hear when the telephone rings.
The CrystalTone Ringer has several features to make hearing the
telephone ring as carefree as possible. Slide the VOLUME control to the
right to increase the ring volume. This can be set as loud as 95 dB. For an
even greater boost, use an optional AC adapter to achieve a ring volume of
up to 100 dB. Depress the ON/OFF button to turn the ring volume on.
Even with the ringer turned off, the Ring Flasher lights when a call
comes in. The adjustable TONE ensures a clear ring at various
frequencies. Slide the TONE control to the right for a higher-pitched ring.
You can even select from four distinct RING PATTERNS. Select the
combination of RING PATTERN and TONE that is right for you.
Step 1 - Selecting the Location
CAUTION! Do not plug the CrystalTone Ringer into any telephone line
other than a typical, analog telephone line. Connection to a digital system
may damage the ringer or the telephone system and will void your warranty.
Set up the CrystalTone Ringer in a place where: (a) There is an electrical
outlet nearby (if using an optional AC adapter). (b) There is a phone jack
nearby. Cords should not lie across any walkway. (c) The surface that the
ringer is set on, or mounted to, is stable and secure. (d) The area is
protected from excessive heat or humidity.
Step 2 - Installing the Batteries
CAUTION! Disconnect the telephone line and the power adapter
before opening the battery compartment.
Use 4, AA alkaline batteries. The battery compartment is on the bottom of
the CrystalTone Ringer.
1. Unplug both the telephone line and the power
adapter.
2. Use something small like the tip of a pencil to push
in the release on the battery cover. The release is
marked by the
symbol.
3. Hold down the release with the pencil and slide the
cover toward the outer edge of the ringer.
4. Look for a label inside of the battery compartment
illustrating how the batteries are arranged. Using the
label as a guide, place the batteries into the
compartment.
5. Replace the battery cover.
