The Telephone Company may make changes in its communications facilities,

equipment operations, or procedures where such action is reasonably required in the

operation of its business and is not inconsistent with the rules and regulations in FCC

Part 68. If such changes can be reasonably expected to render any customer terminal

equipment incompatible with telephone company communications facilities, or

require modification or alteration of such terminal equipment, or otherwise materially

affect its use or performance, the customer shall be given adequate notice in writing,

to allow the customer an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service.

Ringer Equivalence Number

The Ringer Equivalence Number and FCC Registration Number for this machine may

be found on the label located on the bottom or rear of the machine. In some instances

you may need to provide these numbers to the telephone company.

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is a measure of the electrical load placed on

the telephone line, and is useful for determining whether you have “overloaded” the

line. Installing several types of equipment on the same telephone line may result in

problems making and receiving telephone calls, especially ringing when your line is

called. The sum of all Ringer Equivalence Numbers of the equipment on your

telephone line should be less than five in order to assure proper service from the

telephone company. In some cases, a sum of five may not be usable on your line. If

any of your telephone equipment is not operating properly, you should immediately

remove it from your telephone line, as it may cause harm to the telephone network.

WARNING:

FCC Regulations state that changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly

approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate this

equipment. In the event that terminal equipment causes harm to the telephone

network, the telephone company should notify the customer that service may be

stopped. However, where prior notice is impractical, the company may temporarily

cease service, providing that they:

a) promptly notify the customer.

b) give the customer an opportunity to correct the equipment problem.

c) inform the customer of the right to bring a complaint to the Federal Communication

Commission pursuant to procedures set out in FCC Rules and Regulations Subpart

E of Part 68.
