1  Notification to the Local Telephone Company

On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information, 

the US number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment. You 

must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone company.
The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you may connect to 

your telephone line and still have all of these devices ring when your telephone 

number is called. In most (but not all) areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices 

connected to one line should not exceed 5. To be certain of the number of 

devices you may connect to your line as determined by the REN, you should 

contact your local telephone company.
A plug and jack 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. A compliant telephone cord and 

modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a 

compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for 

details.

telephone network, the telephone company shall, where practicable, notify 

you that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. Where prior 

notice is not practicable and the circumstances warrant such action, the

of such temporary discontinuance, the telephone company must: (1) promptly 

notify you of such temporary discontinuance; () afford you the opportunity to 

correct the situation; and (3) inform you of your right to bring a complaint to the

these changes are expected to affect the use or performance of your telephone 

equipment, the telephone company must give you adequate notice, in writing, 

to allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.
