     product may fall, causing serious damage to the product.

  6. Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided
     for ventilation.  To protect it from overheating, these openings must
     not be blocked or covered.  The openings should never be blocked by

  8. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord.  Do not locate this
     product where the cord will be abused by persons walking on it.

  9. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in
     the risk of fire or electric shock.

 10. Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots
     as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that
     could result in a risk of fire or electric shock.  Never spill liquid
     of any kind on the product.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS TO USERS

Your model (SPP-X50 or SPP-X30) has been approved by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) as not being harmful to the telephone
network when connected directly to the telephone lines.  In order to fully
comply with the Rules of the FCC, the following instructions should be read
carefully and followed completely where applicable:

  1. The FCC Rules require that all direct connections to the telephone
     lines must be made through standard plugs and jacks as called out in
     the Rules.

     No connection can be made to party lines or coin lines.

     a. Upon request from your telephone company, you must provide the 14
        digit FCC Registration Number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN),
        both of which are on a label located on the outer surface of your
        telephone.

     b. Inform your local telephone company that the jack (connector)
        required for your device is USOC RJ11C.

     c. After the telephone company has installed the jack listed above,
        you can connect your model (SPP-X50 or SPP-X30) by inserting the
        mating plug of your equipment into the jack.

     d. The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may
        connect to your telephone line and still have all of those devices
        ring when your number is called.  In most, but not all areas, the
        sum of the RENs of all devices should not exceed five (5.0).  To be
        certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line, as
        determined by the REN, you should call your local telephone company
        to determine the maximum REN for your calling area.

     e. All repairs must be accomplished as described in the "Service
        Requirements".

  2. If it appears that your model (SPP-X50 or SPP-X30) is malfunctioning,
     it should be disconnected from the telephone line until it can be
     determined if your equipment or the telephone line is the source of
     the trouble.  If your equipment needs repair, it should not be
     reconnected until such repairs are made.

CAUTION:  You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly
          approved in this manual could void your authority to operate this
          equipment.
