Order Information
When ordering service from the telephone company for this equipment, the following may be 
required.
Universal Service Order Code (USOC): RJ11C
The Facility Interface Code (FIC): 02LS2
Service Order Code (SOC): 9.0F
„Connection of the Equipment
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA.
On the bottom of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier 
in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone 
company.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line.
Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming 
call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the 
number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the 
local telephone company. The REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format 
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is 
a REN of 0.3).
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.
Connection to party lines is subjected to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission, 
public service commission or corporation commission for information.
If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the 
installation of this equipment does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about 
what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.
„In Case of Equipment Malfunction
Should any malfunction occur which cannot be corrected by the procedures described in this guide, 
disconnect the equipment from the telephone line cable, turn off the power and disconnect the power 
cord. The telephone line cable should not be reconnected or the main power switch turned ON until 
the problem is completely resolved. Users should contact their local authorized Canon Facsimile 
Service Dealer for the servicing of equipment.
Information regarding Authorized Service Facility locations can be obtained by calling the Canon 
Customer Center.
„Rights of the Telephone Company
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may temporarily 
disconnect service. The telephone company also retains the right to make changes in facilities and 
services that may affect the operation of this equipment. When such changes are necessary, the 
telephone company is required to give adequate prior notice to the user. However, if advance notice 
is not possible, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, the 
customer will be advised of his/her right to file a compliant with the FCC if he/she believes it is 
necessary.
