FCC STATEMENT
We have designed your telephone to conform to federal regulations, and you can connect it to most telephone lines. However,
each device that you connect to the telephone line draws power from the line. We refer to this power draw as the phone’s ringer
equivalence number (REN). The REN is on
the bottom of your phone.
If you use more than one phone or other device on the line, add up all the RENs. If the
total is more than five (three in rural areas),
your phone might not ring. If the ringer operation is impaired, remove one of the devices
from the line.
In the unlikely event your phone causes
problems on the phone line, the telephone
company can disconnect your service. The
phone company tries to notify you in advance. If advance notice is not practical, the
telephone company notifies you as soon as
possible and advises you of your right to file
a complaint with FCC.
Your telephone complies with Part 68 of
, you must, upon request, provide the
