Notification to the Local Telephone Company

On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information, the

US number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment. You must, upon

request, provide this information to your telephone company.

The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you may connect 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 and requirements adopted

by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this prod-

uct. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant.

See installation instructions for details.
