provide this information to your telephone company.
The REN is useful in determining the number of devices

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

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

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.
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
