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 the 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.
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 telephone service provider 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 indicates the REN would be 0.3.
The REN is used to determine how many devices you can 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. You might want to
contact your telephone service provider for more information.
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 wall 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 the 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 the alarm equipment, consult your
telephone service provider or qualified installer.
Repair instructions
If this equipment is malfunctioning, it must be unplugged from the modular wall
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.
