North American regulatory information

This Class A device complies with Part 68 and Part 15 of the FCC Rules and ICES-003 Class A

Canadian EMI requirements. Operation is subject to the following two conditions (1) This device may not cause harmful interference and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

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.

Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

Do not attempt to repair this equipment. If you experience trouble, write for warranty and repair information:

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Notice

FCC registration number: This telephone equipment complies with Part 68, Rules and

Regulations, of the FCC for connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network.

Your connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network must comply with these FCC rules:

• 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 preceding conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations. See installation instructions for details.

• Use only an FCC Part 68-compliant Universal Service Order Code (USOC) network interface jack, as specified in the installation instructions, to connect to the Public Switched Telephone

Network.

• If the equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of the product may be required. But if advance notice isn’t practical, the telephone company will notify you as soon as possible. You will also be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC, if you believe it is necessary.

Ringer Equivalence Number (REN)

The REN 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 RENs of all the devices does not exceed 5.

EMI/EMC (FCC Part 15)

This equipment has been tested and found to comply 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 in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Safety

Business Communications Manager 50 (BCM50) equipment meets all applicable requirements of both the CSA C22.2 No.60950 and UL 60950 Edition 3.

Danger: Risk of shock.

Read and follow installation instructions carefully.

Ensure the BCM50 is not powered and that all telephone/data cables are removed prior to opening the BCM50 unit in the field.

If installation of additional hardware and /or servicing is required, disconnect all telephone cable connections prior to unplugging the BCM50 modules.

Ensure the BCM50 is connected to a wall outlet with a third-wire protective earth connection prior to connecting any telecommunications cables to the BCM50 main unit or expansion units.

NN40020-302

Regulatory information 21

Caution: Only qualified persons should service the system.

The installation and service of this hardware is to be performed only by service personnel having appropriate training and experience necessary to be aware of hazards to which they are exposed in performing a task and of measures to minimize the danger to themselves or other persons.

Electrical shock hazards from the telecommunication network and AC mains are possible with this equipment. To minimize risk to service personnel and users, the BCM50 system must be connected to an outlet with a third-wire ground.

Service personnel must be alert to the possibility of high leakage currents becoming available on metal system surfaces during power line fault events near network lines.

These leakage currents normally safely flow to Protective Earth ground through the power cord. Therefore, it is mandatory that connection to an earthed outlet is performed first and removed last when cabling to the unit. Specifically, operations requiring the unit to be powered down must have the network connections (central office lines) removed first.

Enhanced 911 configuration

Warning:

Local, state and federal requirements for Emergency 911 services support by Customer

Premises Equipment vary. Consult your telecommunication service provider regarding compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Radio-frequency interference

Warning: Equipment generates RF energy.

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy. If not installed and used in accordance with the installation manual, it may cause interference to radio communications. It has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with ICES.003, CLASS A

Canadian EMI Requirements. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference, in which case the user, at his or her own expense, will be required to take whatever measures may be required to correct the interference.

Telecommunication registration

BCM50 equipment meets all applicable requirements of both Industry Canada CS-03 and US

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Part 68 and has been registered under files Industry

Canada 332D-5980A and FCC US: AB6KF15B20705 (key system), US: AB6MF15B20706
