Warning:

Changes or modiﬁcations to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for

compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

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 when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,

uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed, operated, and maintained in

accordance with PictureTel Corporation guides and manuals, 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 correct the interference at his own expense.

Notice to Users of Public DATAPHONE® Digital Service

The following instructions are provided to ensure that you comply with FCC Rules, Part 68.

1. All direct connections to DDS lines must be made through standard plugs and jacks furnished by the

telephone company. No connections can be made to party lines or coin lines. Before connecting your

unit, you must do the following:

a. Tell your local telephone company that you have an FCC registered device and that you wish to

connect to the company’s line. Provide them with the 14-digit FCC registration number listed on the

device’s label. They will also need to know the facility interface code and service code to connect

the necessary service. For your unit, the facility interface code is 04DU5-56 for 56 kbps service.

The service code is 6.0Y.

b. Inform the local telephone company of the jack arrangement you want to use, which is RJ-48S.

c. Connect the channel service unit (CSU) with the appropriate cable after the telephone company

has installed the requested jack.

2. If the unit appears to be malfunctioning, it should be disconnected from the telephone line until you learn

if your equipment or the telephone line is the source of the trouble. If your equipment needs repair, it

should not be reconnected until it is repaired.

3. The CSU is designed to prevent harm to the DDS network. If the telephone company ﬁnds that the

equipment exceeds tolerance parameters, the telephone company can temporarily disconnect service,

although they will attempt to give you advance notice if possible.

4. Under FCC Rules, no customer is authorized to repair this equipment. This restriction applies

regardless of whether the equipment is in or out of warranty.

5. If the telephone company alters their equipment or operations in a manner that will affect use of this

device, they must give you advance warning so as to give you the opportunity for uninterrupted service.

You will be advised of your right to ﬁle a complaint with the FCC.

6. In the event of equipment malfunction, all repairs should be performed by PictureTel Corporation or an

authorized agent. It is the responsibility of the users requiring service to report the need for service to

our company or to one of our authorized agents.

Note:

It is illegal to export a

Concorde•4500 system that contains the encryption option from the United

States without approval from the United States Department of State. See your PictureTel sales

representative for details.

Notice to Canadian Users

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus

set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications (DOC).

Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables aux

appareils numériques de la class A prescrites dans le Réglement sur le brouillage radioélectrique édicté par

le ministère des Communications du Canada.

The Canadian Department of Communications label identiﬁes certiﬁed equipment. This certiﬁcation means

that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational, and safety

requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.

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. In some cases, the company’s inside wiring associated with a single line individual

service may be extended by means of a certiﬁed connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The

customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service

in some situations. Repairs to certiﬁed equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance

facility 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.

DOC Load Number (LN) = 6

Caution:

Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the

appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

FCC Part 68 Notice (U.S.)

The Load Number (LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the percentage of the total load to be

connected to a telephone loop which is used by the device, to prevent overloading. The termination on a loop

may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the total of the Load Numbers

of all the devices does not exceed 100.

Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) = .6B
