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

must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone company.

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.

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.

2  Rights of the Telephone Company 
  Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the 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 telephone company 

may temporarily discontinue service immediately. In case of such temporary 

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

temporary discontinuance; (2) afford you the opportunity to correct the situation; 

and (3) inform you of your right to bring a complaint to the Commission pursuant 

to procedures set forth in Subpart E of Part 68, FCC Rules and Regulations.

  The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities, 

equipment, operations or procedures where such action is required in the 

operation of its business and not inconsistent with FCC Rules and Regulations. If 

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.

following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference; and (2) 

This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may 

cause undesired operation.

b digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed 

to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential 

installation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if 

not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful 

interference to radio communications. however, there is no guarantee that 

interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, 

which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is 

encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following 

measures:
•  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for radio or 

television that is “receiving” the interference).

•  Reorient or relocate and increase the separation between the 

telecommunications equipment and receiving antenna.

•  Connect the telecommunications equipment into an outlet on a circuit different 

from that to which the receiving antenna is connected.

If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer or an 

experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. Also, the Federal 

Communications Commission has prepared a helpful booklet, “how To Identify and 

Resolve Radio/TV Interference Problems.” This booklet is available from the U.S.
