1.1 Equipment Approval Information
Your telephone equipment is approved for
connection to the Public Switched Telephone
Network and is in compliance with parts 15 and
68, FCC Rules and Regulations and the Technical
Requirements for Telephone Terminal
Equipment published by ACTA.
your telephone from your line.
• If your home has specially wired alarm
equipment connected to the telephone line,
ensure the installation of this product does not
disable your alarm equipment. If you have
questions about what will disable alarm

US Number is located on the cabinet bottom.
REN Number is located on the cabinet bottom.
1.1.1 Notification to the Local Telephone
Company
On the bottom of this equipment is a label
indicating, among other information, the US
number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN)
for the equipment. You must, upon request,
provide this information to your telephone
company.
The REN is useful in determining the number of
devices you may connect to your telephone line
and still have all of these devices ring when your
telephone number is called. In most (but not all)
areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices
connected to one line should not exceed 5. 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.
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to
the premises wiring and telephone network must
comply with the applicable FCC Part 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.
Notes
• This equipment may not be used on coin
service provided by the telephone company.
• Party lines are subject to state tariffs, and
therefore, you may not be able to use your
own telephone equipment if you are on a party
line. Check with your local telephone company.
• Notice must be given to the telephone
company upon permanent disconnection of
1.1.2 Rights of the Telephone Company
Should your equipment cause trouble on your
line which may harm the telephone network, the
telephone company shall, where practicable,
notify you that temporary discontinuance of
service may be required. Where prior notice is
not practicable and the circumstances warrant
such action, the telephone company may
temporarily discontinue service immediately. In
case of such temporary discontinuance, the
telephone company must: (1) promptly notify you
of such temporary discontinuance; (2) afford you
the opportunity to correct the situation; and (3)
inform you of your right to bring a complaint to
the Commission pursuant to procedures set
forth in Subpart E of Part 68, FCC Rules and
Regulations.
The telephone company may make changes in its
communications facilities, equipment, operations
or procedures where such action is required in
the operation of its business and not inconsistent
with FCC Rules and Regulations. If these changes
are expected to affect the use or performance of
your telephone equipment, the telephone
company must give you adequate notice, in
writing, to allow you to maintain uninterrupted
service.

protection against such interference is ensured,
although there is no guarantee this will not occur
in a given installation. If interference is suspected
and verified by switching this equipment on and
off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following
measures: Reorient the radio/television
receiver’s antenna, relocate the equipment with
respect to the receiver, plug the equipment and
receiver into separate circuit outlets. The user
may also wish to consult a qualified radio/
television technician for additional suggestions.
This equipment has been fully tested and
complies with all limits for Class B computing
devices pursuant to part 15 FCC Rules and
Regulations. This device complies with RSS-210
of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not
cause interference, and (2) This device must
accept any interference, including interference
that may cause undesired operation of the device.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:

This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular
installation.
Privacy of Communications may not be ensured

• Connect the telecommunications equipment
into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiving antenna is connected.
If these measures do not eliminate the
interference, please consult your dealer or an
experienced radio/television technician for
additional suggestions. Also, the Federal
Communications Commission has prepared a
helpful booklet, “How To Identify and Resolve
Radio/TV Interference Problems.” This booklet is
available from the U.S. Government Printing
Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. Please specify
stock number 004-000-00345-4 when ordering
