personal injury.  
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which,  
if mishandled, could result in moderate or minor  
personal injury, and/or property damage.  
• Do not expose the unit to rain or an environment  
where it may be splashed by water or other liquids,  
as doing so may result in fire or electric shock.  
• Avoid installing the unit in humid or dusty locations,  
in locations exposed to the direct sunlight, near the  
heaters, or in locations generating sooty smoke or  
steam as doing otherwise may result in fire or  
electric shock.  
• Do not cut, kink, otherwise damage nor modify the  
connection cord. In addition, avoid using the cords  
in close proximity to heaters, and never place  
heavy objects on the cords, as doing so may result  
in fire or electric shock.  
• Check the chime volume with the handset placed  
on the hook as doing otherwise could impair  
hearing.  
• Because the unit is an electrical device, users must  
not make wiring and installation. Leave the work to  
qualified personnel. Improper wiring or installation  
may cause electric shock.  
• Do not remove the unit from the wall nor change  
the unit locations. If the unit is reinstalled at  
improper location, it may fall or may hit persons  
causing injury.  
• Do not disassemble nor modify the unit as doing so  
may result in fire or electric shock.  
2. FCC REQUIREMENTS  
(1) The AI-900 complies with FCC Rules, Part 68. On this equipment is a label which contains, among other  
information, the FCC Part 68 registration number.  
(2) The ringer equivalence number (REN) is used to determine the quality of devices which may be  
connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices not  
ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five  
(5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total  
RENs, contact the local telephone company.  
Note: RENs are associated with loop-start and ground-start ports. It is not used for E&M and digital ports.  
The REN assigned to the AI-900 is 0.4. If requested, this information must be given to the  
telephone company.  
(3) In the event of equipment malfunction, all repairs should be performed by AIPHONE CORPORATION or  
an authorized agent. It is the responsibility of users requiring service to report the need for service to  
AIPHONE CORPORATION or to one of our authorized agents. Service can be facilitated through our  
office at:  
AIPHONE CORPORATION  
1700-130th Ave., N.E.  
Bellevue, Washington 98009  
Phone (425) 455-0510  
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.  
3
 
(4) If the AI-900 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 are also informed of your right to file a complaint  
with the FCC.  
(5) 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 have an  
opportunity to maintain uninterrupted telephone service.  
(6) While the AI-900 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 purchased be installed in the  
ac outlet to which the AIPHONE CORPORATION products are connected. Consult with your distributor as  
to the surge protector requirements for your equipment.  
(7) The FCC rules require that the following Affidavit be completed by the installer and forwarded to the local  
exchange carrier, whenever digital terminal equipment without encoded analog content and billing  
protection is used to transmit digital signals containing encoded analog content, which are intended for  
eventual conversion into Voiceband analog signals and retransmitted on the network.  
(8) The AI-900 has been tested and 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,  
can 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 in  
the user's expense.  
CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS NOT EXPRESSLY APPROVED BY AIPHONE CORPORATION  
COULD VOID THE USER'S AUTHORITY TO OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT.  
3. INDUSTRY CANADA REQUIREMENTS  
(1) ''NOTICE: This equipment meets the applicable Industry Canada Terminal Equipment Technical  
Specifications.  
This is confirmed by the registration number. The abbreviation, IC, before the registration number signifies  
that registration was performed based on a Declaration of Conformity indicating that Industry Canada  
technical specifications were met.  
It does not imply that Industry Canada approved the equipment."  
(2) ''NOTICE: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this terminal equipment is 0.4.  
The REN assigned to each terminal equipment provides an indication of the maximum number of  
terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface.  
The termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement  
that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed five.''  
(3) "The abbreviation, IC, before the registration number signifies that registration was performed based on a  
Declaration of Conformity indicating that Industry Canada technical specifications were met. It does not  
imply that Industry Canada approved the equipment.  
(4) This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.  
Cet appareil numérique de la classe A est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.  
4. INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
