							GENERAL INFORMATION
FCC and Telco Requirements
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has
established rules and regulations for the operation
and installation of privately-owned telephone
equipment.According to Part 68 (Connection of
Terminal Equipment to the Telephone Network) and its
amendments, t h e  F C C  r e q u i r e s  s e v e r a l  a c t ions before
and during installation of customer-provided
telephone equipment.The following paragraphs outline
these actions.
Notification
to Telco The telco may want to be notified of the proposed
cut-over date and supplied with the following
information about the system:
Primary
Devices
a.
b.The particular lines used (telephone numbers 
xxxx through xxx-xxxx).
Model:BUSINESSCOM PLUS 
Manufacturer: TIE/communications, Inc.
For BUSINESSCOM PLUS 
FCC Registration Number:

For BUSINESSCOM PLUS 
FCC Registration Number: 
Ringer Equivalence: 
Registered Jack: 
The National Electrical Code  requires the telco
to provide primary protection devices on telephone
lines terminated at customer sites.
,
Check the entry point to verify that a primary
protection device has been installed. If not, notify
the telco before proceeding with the installation.
Telco LinesTelco lines for a BUSINESSCOM PLUS 
 must be
terminated in 
 connectors, dropped within six
feet of the proposed installation site.
Telco lines for a BUSINESSCOM PLUS 
 must be
terminated in 
 connectors,dropped within 25 feet
of the proposed installation site.

							GENERAL INFORMATION
FCC and  Requirements 
FCC-Approved
Connectors
Connect this system to telco lines only with the 
approved plugs and jacks which are appropriate to the
BUSINESSCOM PLUS System (see Registered Jack entry
above).
Incidence
of Harm
If trouble occurs,the FCC requires that the customer
disconnect the registered equipment from the tele-
phone line in order to determine if the equipment is
malfunctioning. If so,the customer should stop using
the equipment until the problem is corrected.
The telco may temporarily stop service if the
customer-provided equipment is causing harm to the
telco network. Whenever practical, the telco must
notify the customer that service may be temporarily
discontinued. The telco must also attempt to inform
the customer before actually disconnecting service
and provide customers with an opportunity to correct
the problem. In addition, the telco must advise
customers of their right to bring complaint
procedures before the FCC.
Radio
Frequency
Interference
WARRING:THIS EQUIPMENT GENERATES, USES, AND CAN
RADIATE RADIO FREQUENCY. IF NOT INSTALLED AND USED
ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURERS INSTRUCTIONS, THIS
EQUIPMENT MAY CAUSE INTERFERENCE TO RADIO COMMUNI-
CATIONS.
All BUSINESSCOM PLUS systems have been tested. Tests
show that a BUSINESSCOM PLUS 
 complies with the
limits for a Class B computing device and a BUSINESSCOM
PLUS  with the limits for a Class A computing
device according to Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules.
The Class A or Class B computing device provides
reasonable protection against such interference when
operated in a commercial environment.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area may
cause interference,but operation of a Class B
computing device is less likely to cause such inter-
ference.If interference occurs, the FCC requires
that corrective measures be taken at the users
expense.
1-33 
						

							GENERAL INFORMATION
FCC and  Requirements 
Determine if the equipment is causing interference to
radio or television reception by turning the
equipment off and then on.
If an interference problem
exists,try one of the following solutions:
Radio
Frequency
Susceptibility
Hearing Aid
Compatibility
a.Reorient the receiving antenna
b. Relocate the receiver with respect to the
equipment
Plug the equipment and receiver into different
branch circuits
For further information on radio-TV interference,
order the FCC-prepared booklet,  How to Identify and
Remove Radio-TV Interference Problems from the:
U.S.Government Printing Office
Washington, D.C. 20402
(Stock No.004-000-00345-4)
If you install the system in a strong radio frequency
(RF) field,the field may affect proper system
operation. Use of the installation and grounding
procedures outlined in this manual will help to
minimize RF susceptibility.
Hearing aid-compatibility is identified on packing
materials.FCC rules prohibit the use of non-hearing
aid-compatible telephones in the following locations:
a.Any public or semi-public location where 
operated or credit card telephones may be found
b. Elevators, highways, and tunnels (automobile,
subway,railroad,or pedestrian) where a person
with impaired hearing might be isolated in an
emergency.
,C.Places where telephones are installed specifically
to alert emergency authorities (such as fire,
police,or medical assistance personnel)
d. Hospital rooms,residential health care
facilities,convalescent homes and prisons,
specifically where telephones are used for
signaling life-threatening or emergency situations
if alternative signaling methods are not available
e.Workstations for hearing-impaired personnel
f. Hotel, motel,apartment lobbies; in stores where
telephones are used by patrons to order
merchandise; i n  public transportation terminals
where telephones are used to call taxis, reserve
lodging or rent automobiles
l-34 
						

							 INFORMATION
FCC and  Requirements 
Hotel and motel rooms.
At least ten percent of the
rooms must contain hearing aid-compatible
telephones: or contain jacks for plug-in hearing
aid-compatible telephones which will be provided
to hearing-impaired customers upon request.
Hearing aid-compatible handsets are available through
TIE/communications, Inc.
Responsibility
of Grantee
The FCC prohibits any alteration or modification of
this equipment not expressly shown in this manual.
When suspecting equipment malfunction, the installer
should disconnect the system from the 
 lines by
unplugging either the 
 connector on a BUSINESSCOM
PLUS 
 or the  connector on a BUSINESSCOM PLUS
