the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect
the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground
connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water
pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be
particularly important in rural areas.
This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian
Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations as specified in the Industry
Canada Standard ICES-003.

Signaling method

The equipment allows signaling in DTMF tones. It can complete calls to
local and long distance lines and can also complete long distance calls via
computer phone systems such as MCI or SPRINT. This equipment is
capable of providing access to interstate providers of operator services
through the use of access codes. Modification of this equipment by call
aggregators to block access dialing codes is a violation of the Telephone
Operator Consumers Act of 1990.

Ringer Equivalence Number

US
The FCC Registration information on the product label, includes a Ringer
Equivalence Number (REN) which is used to determine the number of
devices you may connect to your phone line. A high total REN may prevent
ICSs from detecting ringing in response to an incoming call and may make
placing calls difficult. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs
should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that
may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the
local telephone company.
Note: RENs are associated with loop start and ground start ports. Do not
use for E&M or digital ports.

themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric
inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate
