FCC REQUIREMENTS
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA.
Inside the front panel of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product iden-
tifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone
company.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line.
Excessive REN's on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming
call. In most but not all areas, the sum of the REN's 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 REN's, contact the local
telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the
product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN
without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on
the label.
The plug used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with
the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. If your home has specially
wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of this E-1600A-TP-EWP,
E-1600A-TP2-EWP or E-1600A-GT-EWP does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions
about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.
If the E-1600A-TP-EWP, E-1600A-TP2-EWP or E-1600A-GT-EWP causes harm to the telephone net-
work, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may
be required. But if advance notice isn't practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon
