FCC INFORMATION

We have designed your system to conform to federal regula­tions, and you can connect it to most telephone lines. Howev­er, each system (and each device, such as a telephone or
answering machine) that you connect to the telephone line
draws power from the telephone line. We refer to this power
draw as the device’s
REN is on the bottom of the system.

If you use more than one telephone or other device on the line,
add up all of t h e R E N s . If the to ta l is more t han five, y ou r t el e ­phone might not ring. In rural areas, a total REN of three might
impair ringer operation. If ringer operation is impaired, remove
a device from the line.

REN to your telephone company. Both numbers are on the
bottom of the system.

In the unlikely event that your system causes problems on the
phone line, the phone company can temporarily disconnect
your service. If this happens, the phone company attempts to
notify you in advance. If advance notice is not practical, the
phone company notifies you as soon as possible and advises
you of your right to fil e a complaint with the FCC.

Follow these st eps to install batteries.
