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.
