1 Notification to the Local Telephone Company
On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other

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

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.
