Why would it be allowable to set the volume to anunsafe level at all?

Apologies to the list-serv. The previous suggestion for (f) is for the
voice signal measurement. This one is for volume control. As explained
to me by TIA subject matter gurus, the FCC has narrowly prescribed what
manufacturers can do in this situation - either have an auto reset per
the regulation or meet the conditions in the referenced waiver. Thus
the language recommended by TIA is:


1194,23(g) If the telecommunications product allows a user to adjust the
receive volume, a function shall be provided to automatically reset the
volume to a safe level after every use if the volume is capable of
greater than 18 dB of gain A manual override switch may be provided to
prevent the automatic reset subject to the conditions specified in FCC
Memorandum Opinion and Order DA 01-578.
