ANALOG DEVICE WARNINGS
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) rules for the United States.
A label is located on the underside of the base unit containing the registration
number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). You must upon request provide
the following information to your local telephone company:
USOC Jack Type: RJ-11
REN: 0.8
Should you experience trouble with this telephone equipment, please contact
Itronix - contact addresses are listed on the back cover of this booklet.
The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices, which may be connected to
the telephone line. Excessive REN’s on the 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 five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may
be connected to a line, as determined by the total REN’s, contact the local
telephone company.
If you have problems with your Itronix fex21 modem, contact Itronix for repair and
warranty information. If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network,
the telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the
problem is resolved.
Your telephone company may disconnect your service if your equipment causes
harm to the telephone network. They will notify you in advance of disconnection, if
possible. During notification, you will be informed of your right to file a complaint to
the FCC.
Occasionally, your telephone company may make changes in its facilities,
equipment, operation, or procedures that could affect the operation of your
equipment. If so, you will be given advance notice of the change to give you an
opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service.
