68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed
to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line
may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed
fi ve (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local
telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product identifi er that has the format
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (for example, 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier
products, the REN is separately shown on the label.
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance
of service may be required. But if advance notice isn’t practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also,
