Equipment Approval Information
Your telephone equipment is approved for connection
to the Public Switched Telephone Network and is
in compliance with parts 15 and 68, FCC Rules and
Regulations and the Technical Requirements for Telephone
Terminal Equipment published by ACTA.
1 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 product. It is designed
to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also
compliant. See installation instructions for details.

permanent disconnection of your telephone from your
line.
• If your home has specially wired alarm equipment

REN Number is located on the cabinet bottom.
2 Rights of the Telephone Company
Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which
may harm the telephone network, the telephone company
shall, where practicable, notify you that temporary
discontinuance of service may be required. Where prior
notice is not practicable and the circumstances warrant
such action, the telephone company may temporarily

4
discontinue service immediately. In case of such
temporary discontinuance, the telephone company must:
(1) promptly notify you of such temporary discontinuance;
(2) afford you the opportunity to correct the situation; and
(3) inform you of your right to bring a complaint to the
Commission pursuant to procedures set forth in Subpart E
of Part 68, FCC Rules and Regulations.
The telephone company may make changes in its
communications facilities, equipment, operations or
procedures where such action is required in the operation
of its business and not inconsistent with FCC Rules and
Regulations. If these changes are expected to affect the
use or performance of your telephone equipment, the
telephone company must give you adequate notice, in
writing, to allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.
Interference Information
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful interference; and (2) This
device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation.

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation.
Privacy of Communications may not be ensured when
using this product.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna (that is, the
antenna for radio or television that is “receiving” the
interference).
• Reorient or relocate and increase the separation
between the telecommunications equipment and
receiving antenna.
• Connect the telecommunications equipment into an
outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiving antenna is connected.

6
If these measures do not eliminate the interference,
please consult your dealer or an experienced radio/
television technician for additional suggestions. Also, the
Federal Communications Commission has prepared a
helpful booklet, “How To Identify and Resolve Radio/TV
Interference Problems.” This booklet is available from the
U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402.
Please specify stock number 004-000-00345-4 when
