I have seen telephones marketed in the U.S. which are made *only* for use behind a PBX and therefore they save money on the design by not including parts to protect against lightning surges. These phones wouldn't meet the FCC Part 68 rules, and they usually have a sticker on the bottom that warns the user not to plug the phone into a PSTN line. Another example would be telephones made for use behind a PBX in the hotel/motel industry and therefore have a neon bulb for Message Waiting. This type of phone will not meet the FCC Part 68 rules because of the neon bulb. ________________________________________________________________ John Combs, Senior Project Engineer, ITS/TestMark Laboratories Email: [email protected] URL: http://www.testmark.com
