MODEL: UTA-1
GENERAL INFORMATION:
The UTA is a loud attention getting electronic ringer designed for use in noisy locations or for wide area coverage. It is FCC and
DOC Registered for the public telephone network and can be used behind PBX and key systems that use interrupted ring voltages
from 40-130V, 20-30Hz or 18-30VDC/VAC or 36-60VDC.
The UTA, when used indoors, will accommodate a modular plug that mates with an RJ-11C jack (USA) or a CA-11 jack (Canada) for
ringing voltage. UTA operates directly off the telephone ringing voltage with low current drain to minimize line loading.
UTA offers a choice of four selectable sound patterns (horn, bell, single chime or vibrating chime) with a volume control. The UTA
is equipped with a weather resistant backbox for optional outdoor use with conduit enclosed wiring.

FCC REGULATIONS:
• This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. The label affixed to this product contains, among other information, the
FCC Registration Number and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this product. This information must be provided to the
telephone company if requested.
• The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices which you may connect to your telephone line and still have all of those
devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the REN's of all devices connected to
one line should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that you may connect to your line, contact your
local telephone company.
• This equipment should not be used on coin telephone lines. Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs.
• If trouble is experienced, disconnect this equipment from the telephone line to determine if it is causing the malfunction. If the
equipment is determined to be malfunctioning, its use shall be discontinued until the problem has been corrected.
• Should the equipment cause harm to the telephone network, the telephone company shall, if possible, notify the customer that
temporary discontinuance of service may be required; however, where prior written notice is not possible, the telephone company
may temporarily discontinue service without notice, if such action is necessary under the circumstances. The telephone company
may make changes in its communication facilities, equipment and operations procedures, where such action is reasonably
required in the operation of its business and is not inconsistent with the rules and regulations of the Federal Communications
Commission.
