FCC Information
Part 68 is a Federal regulation which requires equipment to be tested and registered with the
FCC prior to its connection to the network. This equipment complies with Part 68 of FCC
rules. On the bottom of the telephone is a label that contains, among other information, the
FCC Registration Number and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment.
You must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone company.
The Ringer Equivalence Number, which is used to determine the number of devices you
may connect to your phone line, indicates the amount of power that your telephone draws
from the telephone company line during ringing. If you have more than one telephone (or
other terminal device) connected to the telephone company line, you should total the ringer
equivalence numbers (REN s), and be sure that the total is not more than five. Your tele-
phones may not ring if the total is more than five. Also, in some rural locations, your
telephone may not ring if the REN total is more than three.
RESTRICTIONS You must not connect your telephone to coin-operated lines or party
lines.
