1. This adapter complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. A label is affixed to the adapter that contains, among
other things, the FCC registration number, USOC, and Ringer Equivalency Number (REN) for this equipment.
If these numbers are requested, provide this information to your telephone company.
2. The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still
have those devices ring when your number is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all
devices should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line, as
determined by the REN, you should call your local telephone company to determine the maximum REN for
your calling area.
3. If the adapter causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may discontinue your service
temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance; if advance notice is not practical, you will be notified
as soon as possible. You will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
4. Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that
could affect the proper operation of your equipment. If they do, you will be given advance notice to give you
an opportunity to maintain
uninterrupted service.
