On the bottom of the base of this equipment is a label that contains, among other
information, the FCC Registration Number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for

The FCC compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this equipment.
This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises
wiring using a compatible modular jack which is TIA/EIA-IS-968 compliant.
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your
telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your telephone number is
called. In most, by not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one
line should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices you may
connect to your line, as determined by the REN, you should contact your local
telephone company to determine the maximum REN for your calling area.
If your telephone equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone
company may discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in
advance. But, if advance notice isn’t practical, you will be notified as soon as possible.

procedures that could affect the proper functioning of your equipment. If they do, you
will be notified in advance to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted
