FCC and ACTA information

If this equipment was approved for connection to the telephone network prior
to July 23, 2001, it complies with Part 68 of the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) rules. If the equipment was approved after that date,
it complies with the Part 68 rules and with the Technical Requirements
for Connection of Equipment to the Telephone Network adopted by the
Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA). We are required to
provide you with the following information.

Product identifier and REN information

The label on the back or bottom of this equipment contains, among other
things, an identifier indicating product approval and the Ringer Equivalence
Number (REN). This information must be provided to your local telephone
company upon request. For equipment approved prior to July 23, 2001, the
product identifier is preceded by the phrase “FCC Reg No.” and the REN
is listed separately. For equipment approved after that date, the product
identifier is preceded by “US” and a colon (:), and the REN is encoded in
the product identifier without a decimal point as the sixth and seventh
characters following the colon. For example, the product identifier US:
AAAEQ03T123XYZ indicates the REN would be 0.3.

The REN is used to determine how many devices you can connect to your
telephone line and still have them ring when you are called. In most, but
not all areas, the sum of all RENS should be five (5.0) or less. You might
want to contact your local telephone company for more information.
Connection and use with the nationwide telephone network

The plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring
and the telephone network must comply with the applicable part 68 rules
and technical requirements adopted by ACTA. A compliant telephone
cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be
connected to a compatible modular wall jack that is also compliant. An
RJ11 jack should normally be used for connecting to a single line and an
RJ14 jack for two lines, see installation instructions in the user’s manual.
This equipment may not be used with coin telephone lines or with party
lines. If you have specially wired alarm dialing equipment connected to
your telephone line, ensure the connection of this equipment does not
disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will
disable the alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or qualified
installer.
Repair instructions

If this equipment is malfunctioning, it must be unplugged from the modular
wall jack until the problem has been corrected. Repairs to this telephone
equipment can only be made by the manufacturer or its authorized agents.
For repair procedures, follow the instructions outlined under the limited
warranty.
