RENs, contact the telephone company.
For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the identifier that has the
format US: AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without the decimal point (e.g., 03
is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.
