If this equipment was approved for connection to the telephone network prior to
July 23, 2001, it complies with Part 68 of the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) rules. If the equipment was approved after that date, it complies with the
Part 68 rules and with Technical Requirements for Connection of Equipment to the
Telephone Network adopted by the Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments

1. Product identifier and REN information
The label on the back or bottom of this equipment contains, among other things, an
identifier indicating product approval and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN).
This information must be provided to your local telephone company upon request.
For equipment approved prior to July 23, 2001, the product identifier is preceded by
the phrase "FCC Reg No." and the REN is listed separately. For equipment
approved after that date, the product identifier is preceded by "US" and a colon (:),
and the REN is encoded in the product identifier without a decimal point as the sixth
and seventh characters following the colon. For example, the product identifier
US:AAAEQ03T123XYZ would indicate an REN of 0.3. The REN is used to determine
how many devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have them ring
when you are called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of all RENs should be five
(5.0) or less. You may want to contact your local telephone company for more information.
