CENTRAL 1000 Monitored Personal Emergency Alert System (490-2575) Preparation Faxback Doc. # 32228 LOCAL PERMIT REQUIREMENTS Some cities and municipalities require you to fill out a registration form and get a permit for monitored alarm service. We recommend that you contact your local police or sheriff's department and inquire about local permit requirements. READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLATION We designed your emergency alert system to conform to federal regulations, and you can connect it to most telephone lines. However, each device that you connect to the phone line draws power from the phone line. We refer to this power draw as the device's Ringer Equivalence Number, or REN (shown on the bottom of your system). If you use more than one phone or other device on the line, add all the RENs. If the total is more than five, your phones might not ring. In rural areas, a total REN of three might impair ringer operation. If phones do not ring, disconnect a device from the line. This emergency alert system complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules. You must, upon request, provide the FCC registration number and the REN to your phone company. Both numbers are shown on the back of the system. NOTE: You must not connect this system to: Coin-operated system Party-line system Most electronic key telephone systems Your system also complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules. These rules are designed to provide reasonable protection against radio and television interference. However, the system might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating properly. To determine whether your system is causing the interference, unplug your system. If the interference goes away, your system is causing it. Try to eliminate the interference by: Moving your system away from the receiver. Connecting your system to an outlet that is on a different electrical circuit from the receiver. Contacting your local Radio Shack store for help. If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop using your system. (EB 4/23/96) (LB 4/3/96)
