| (a) Telecommunications products or systems which provide a function allowing voice communication and which do not themselves provide a TTY functionality shall provide a standard non-acoustic connection point for TTYs. Microphones shall be capable of being turned on and off to allow the user to intermix speech with TTY use. |
Not Supported |
|
| (b) Telecommunications products which include voice communication functionality shall support all commonly used cross-manufacturer non-proprietary standard TTY signal protocols. |
Not Supported |
|
| (c) Voice mail, auto-attendant, and interactive voice response telecommunications systems shall be usable by TTY users with their TTYs. |
Not Applicable |
This requirement applies to voice mail, auto-attendant, and interactive voice response systems. Even so, there is no aspect of the 5000 series IP telephones that would interfere with the operation or compliance of these systems. |
| (d) Voice mail, messaging, auto-attendant, and interactive voice response telecommunications systems that require a response from a user within a time interval, shall give an alert when the time interval is about to run out, and shall provide sufficient time for the user to indicate more time is required. |
Not Applicable |
This requirement applies to voice mail, auto-attendant, and interactive voice response systems. Even so, there is no aspect of the 5000 series IP telephones that would interfere with the operation or compliance of these systems. |
| (e) Where provided, caller identification and similar telecommunications functions shall also be available for users of TTYs, and for users who cannot see displays. |
Not Supported |
|
| (f) For transmitted voice signals, telecommunications products shall provide a gain adjustable up to a minimum of 20 dB. For incremental volume control, at least one intermediate step of 12 dB of gain shall be provided. |
Supported |
5000 Series IP telephones offer 15 dB gain from nominal (as per FCC part 68) with step sizes of 3 dB.
All 5000 series IP telephones have -9 to +15 dB adjustable handset gain. Mitel also offers a +6 dB amplified handset from Algo Communications Products Ltd. and +20 dB inline amplifiers from Walker Equipment Corp.
|
| (g) If the telecommunications product allows a user to adjust the receive volume, a function shall be provided to automatically reset the volume to the default level after every use. |
Supported |
After use, the receiver volume of the 5000 Series IP phone will automatically be reset to either the user-defined or system default level. |
| (h) Where a telecommunications product delivers output by an audio transducer which is normally held up to the ear, a means for effective magnetic wireless coupling to hearing technologies shall be provided. |
Supported |
These handsets do not generate RF interference. This adheres to FCC standards for electro-magnetic shielding.
All Mitel handsets have FCC-compliant primary inductive coils, permitting the phone to be used with inductively coupled assistive hearing devices.
|
| (i) Interference to hearing technologies (including hearing aids, cochlear implants, and assistive listening devices) shall be reduced to the lowest possible level that allows a user of hearing technologies to utilize the telecommunications product. |
Supported |
This criterion is an integral part of the handset receiver design for 5000 series telephones. Mitel 5000 series IP phones meet FCC standards for electromagnetic shielding. |
| (j) Products that transmit or conduct information or communication, shall pass through cross-manufacturer, non-proprietary, industry-standard codes, translation protocols, formats or other information necessary to provide the information or communication in a usable format. Technologies, which use encoding, signal compression, format transformation, or similar techniques shall not remove information needed for access or shall restore it upon delivery. |
Not Supported |
|
| (k)(1) Products, which have mechanically operated controls or keys, shall comply with the following: Controls and Keys shall be tactilely discernible without activating the controls or keys. |
Supported |
The dial pads on all 5000 series IP telephones are arranged in a standard manner, with a raised nub on the “5” key, thereby making tactile navigation easier for visually impaired users. Tactile navigation of the special function keys is facilitated by the use of a consistent key layout that includes at least one set of uniquely shaped controls that can act as a tactile navigation landmark. |
| (k)(2) Products which have mechanically operated controls or keys shall comply with the following: controls and keys shall be operable with one hand and shall not require tight grasping, pinching, twisting of the wrist. The force required to activate controls and keys shall be 5 lbs (22.2 N) maximum. |
Supported |
5000 series IP telephones use 0.4 lb (1.7 N) of force to activate its controls and keys. |
| (k)(3) Products which have mechanically operated controls or keys shall comply with the following: If key repeat is supported, the delay before repeat shall be adjustable to at least 2 seconds. Key repeat rate shall be adjustable to 2 seconds per character. |
Supported |
5000 series IP telephones do not have a repeat-key function. Keystroke activation is only on the upstroke of a key depression. |
| (k)(4) Products which have mechanically operated controls or keys shall comply with the following: The status of all locking or toggle controls or keys shall be visually discernible, and discernible either through touch or sound. |
Partially Supported |
The status of all locking or toggle keys, such as the microphone button, is indicated by LED. |
