FCC, ACTA and IC Regulations
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. For more information, please contact your local
telephone company.
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 this 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 alarm
equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.
3. Repair instructions
If this equipment is malfunctioning, it must be unplugged from the modular jack until the
problem has been corrected. Repairs to this telephone equipment can only be made by the
manufacturer or its authorized agents. For repair procedures, follow the instructions outlined
under the Limited Warranty.
4. Rights of the telephone company
If this equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may
temporarily discontinue your telephone service. The telephone company is required to notify
you before interrupting service. If advance notice is not practical, you will be notified as
soon as possible. You will be given the opportunity to correct the problem and the telephone
company is required to inform you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC. Your
telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operation, or procedures
that could affect the proper functioning of this product. The telephone company is required
to notify you if such changes are planned.
5. Hearing aid compatibility
If this product is equipped with a corded or cordless handset, it is hearing aid
compatible.
6. Programming/testing of emergency numbers
If this product has memory dialing locations, you may choose to store police, fire department
and emergency medical service telephone numbers in these locations. If you do, please
keep three things in mind:
a. We recommend that you also write the telephone number on the directory card, so that you
can still dial the emergency number manually if the memory dialing feature doesn't work.
b. This feature is provided only as a convenience, and the manufacturer assumes no
responsibility for customer reliance upon the memory feature.
