Federal Communications Commission Statement
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 rea-
sonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a com-
mercial environment. 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. Operation of this equipment in a residential 
area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to cor-
rect the interference at his own expense. This system is Class B compliant in some con-
figurations. For additional FCC information, see the PARTNER Customer Support 
Document.
Canadian Department of Communication (DOC) Interference Information
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions set out 
in the radio interference regulations of Industry Canada.
Le Présent Appareil Nomérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les lim-
ites applicables aux appareils numériques de la class A préscrites dans le reglement sur 
le brouillage radioélectrique édicté par le Industrie Canada.
Preventing Toll Fraud 
“Toll fraud” is the unauthorized use of your telecommunications system by an unautho-
rized party (for example, a person who is not a corporate employee, agent, subcontractor, 
or working on your company’s behalf). Be aware that there may be a risk of toll fraud 
associated with your system and that, if toll fraud occurs, it can result in substantial addi-
tional charges for your telecommunications services.
The final responsibility for securing both this system and its networked equipment rests 
with you — an Avaya Inc. system administrator, your telecommunications peers, and your 
managers. Avaya Inc. does not warrant that this product or any of its networked equip-
ment is either immune from or will prevent either unauthorized or malicious intrusions. 
Avaya Inc. will not be responsible for any charges, losses, or damages that result from 
such intrusions. For important information regarding your system and toll fraud, see the 
PARTNER Customer Support Document.

tance, call the Avaya Customer Care Center at 1 800 628-2888.
