FCC and ACTA information

If this equipment was approved for connection to
the telephone network prior to July 23, 2001, it
complies with Part 68 of the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) rules. If the
equipment was approved after that date, it
complies with the Part 68 rules and with
Technical Requirements for Connection of
Equipment to the Telephone Network adopted by
the Administrative Council for Terminal

Attachments (ACTA). We are required to provide

you with the following information.

1. Product identifier and REN information

The label on the back or bottom of this
equipment contains, among other things, an
identifier indicating product approval and the
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). This
information must be provided to your local
telephone company upon request. For
equipment approved prior to July 23, 2001,
the product identifier is preceded by the
phrase "FCC Reg No." and the REN is listed
separately. For equipment approved after that

3

date, the product identifier is preceded by
"US" and a colon (:), and the REN is encoded
in the product identifier without a decimal
point as the sixth and seventh characters
following the colon. For example, the product
identifier US: AAAEQ03T123XYZ would
indicate an REN of 0.3.
The REN is used to determine how many
devices you may connect to your telephone
line and still have them ring when you are
called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of
all RENS should be five (5.0) or less. You may
want to contact your local telephone
company for more information.

2. Connection and use with the nationwide

equipment to the premises wiring and the

applicable part 68 rules and technical

connected to a compatible modular jack that
is also compliant. An RJ11 jack should
normally be used for connecting to a single
line and an RJ14 jack for two lines, see
installation instructions in the user's manual.
This equipment may not be used with coin
telephone lines or with party lines. If you
have specially wired alarm dialing equipment
connected to your telephone line, ensure the
connection of this equipment does not
disable your alarm equipment. If you have
questions about what will disable the alarm
equipment, consult your telephone company
or qualified installer.

3. Repair instructions

be unplugged from the modular jack until the
problem has been corrected. Repairs to this
telephone equipment can only be made by
