If you experience problems with any Siemens system discussed in this section, call Siemens at 1-800-835-7656 for service and repairs.
The telephone company can ask you to disconnect the equipment from the network until the problem is corrected or until you are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning.
1.3.1.1 FCC Rules, Part 15
Each Siemens system discussed in this section, except the Hicom 150 E CS OfficePoint, 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 and used in accordance with the instruction manual, 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.
The Hicom 150 E CS OfficePoint has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B 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 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. |
1.3.1.2 FCC Rules, Part 68
Each Siemens system discussed in this section complies with FCC Rules, Part 68. A label on the outside back of the cabinet identifies the FCC registration number, the ringer equivalence number (REN), and other information. If requested, this information must be given to the telephone company.
Disruption of the Network and T1
For networked systems using 1.544 Megabits per second (Mbps) T1 service, notify the telephone company when the equipment is disconnected from the network. If any Siemens system discussed in this section disrupts the telephone network, the telephone company can discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, the telephone company will notify you in advance. If advance notice is not practical, they will notify you as soon as possible. You will also be informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
Telephone Company Facility Changes
The telephone company can make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that can affect the operation of your equipment. If they do, you should be notified in advance so you can maintain uninterrupted telephone service.
Nonlive Voice Equipment
Nonlive voice equipment such as music-on-hold devices and recorded announcements for systems must be approved by Siemens and registered in accordance with the rules and regulations of Subpart C of the FCC Rules, Part 68; or it must be connected through protective circuitry that is approved by Siemens and registered in accordance with the rules and regulations in Subpart C of the FCC Rules, Part 68.
REN
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that can be connected to a telephone line so that all the devices ring when that telephone number is called. In most areas, but not all, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to a line should not exceed five. Contact the local telephone company to determine the maximum REN for your calling area.
Newly Established Network Area and Exchange Codes
The off-net routing feature, also known as the least-cost routing (LCR) software feature, which allows user access to the public switched network, must be reconfigured to recognize newly established network area codes and exchange codes as they are placed in service.
Failure to reconfigure the customer premises equipment to recognize the new codes as they are established restricts the customer and the customer's employees from gaining access to the network and to these codes.
Hearing Aid Compatibility
Telephones for emergency use and telephones installed in common areas such as lobbies, hospital rooms, elevators, and hotel rooms must have handsets that are compatible with magnetically coupled hearing aids. Persons who are not in common areas also must be provided with hearing-aid compatible handsets, if needed.
For the hearing impaired, all Siemens digital telephones manufactured after August 16, 1989, are hearing aid compatible and comply with FCC Rules, Part 68, Section 68.316.
Preprogrammed Dialer Features
When you program emergency numbers or make test calls to emergency numbers using Siemens products with preprogrammed dialer features, stay on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call before hanging up. Perform these activities in off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evening.
Connecting Off-Premises Station Facilities
Customers who intend to connect off-premises station (OPS) facilities must inform the telephone company of the OPS class for which the equipment is registered and the connection desired.
Direct Inward Dialing Answer Supervision
Customers operating any Siemens system discussed in this section without providing proper answer supervision are in violation of Part 68 of the FCC rules.
 |
Each Siemens system discussed in this section returns proper answer supervision to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) when DID calls are: |
 |
 |
Answered by the called station |
 |
 |
Answered by the attendant |
 |
 |
Routed to a recorded announcement that can be administered by the customer |
 |
Each Siemens system discussed in this section returns proper answer supervision on all DID calls forwarded to the PSTN. Permissible exceptions are when: |
 |
 |
A call is unanswered |
 |
 |
A busy tone is received |
 |
 |
A reorder tone is received |
Equal Access Requirements
Call aggregators such as hotels, hospitals, airports, colleges and universities, and so on must provide the end user equal access to the carriers of the user's choice. The current equal access codes (also known as carrier access codes [CACs]) are 10xxx and 101xxxx, and 800/888 and 950, where xxx or xxxx represents the carrier identification code.
To select the carrier of choice for a call, the user dials the equal access code before dialing the called party number. Equal access is also obtained by dialing the 800/888 or 950 number of the carrier of choice.
Each Siemens system discussed in this section is capable of providing user access to interstate providers of operator services through the use of equal access codes. Modifications by aggregators to alter these capabilities are a violation of the Telephone Operator Consumer Services Improvement Act of 1990 and Part 68 of the FCC Rules.
Electrical Safety Advisory
While each Siemens system discussed in this section is fully compliant with FCC Rules and Regulations, it is recommended that an alternating current (ac) surge arrestor of the form and capability suitable for the model of the system purchased be installed in the ac outlet to which the system is connected. Consult with your Siemens representative or distributor to determine the surge protector requirements for your system.

1.3.2 Industry Canada Compliance
The following paragraphs describe requirements for and present information based on the Industry Canada standards.
1.3.2.1 REN
The REN assigned to each terminal device provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination of 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 five.
1.3.2.2 Equipment Attachment Limitations
The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational, and safety requirements as described in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirement documents. 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. The customer should be aware that compliance with these conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.
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.
