FCC and ACTA information
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 (ACTA). We are required to
provide you with the following information.
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 telephone service
provider 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, if the product identifier is US:
AAAEQ03T123XYZ, the REN is 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 telephone service provider for more information.
2. Connection and use with the nationwide telephone network
The plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring
and the telephone network must comply with the applicable Part 68 rules
and technical requirements adopted by 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. An RJ11
jack should normally be used for connecting to a single line and an RJ14
jack for two lines. See installation instructions in the user's manual. This
equipment may not be used with coin telephone lines or with party lines.
If you have specially wired alarm dialing equipment connected to your
telephone line, ensure the connection of this equipment does not disable
your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable the
alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or qualified installer.
