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 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.
