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.

• This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company.

• Party lines are subject to state tariffs, and therefore, you may not be able to use your

own telephone equipment if you are on a party line. Check with your local telephone

company.

• Notice must be given to the telephone company upon permanent disconnection of

your telephone from your line.

• If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line,

ensure the installation of this product does not disable your alarm equipment. If you

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.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the 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.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class 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.

Privacy of Communications may not be ensured when using this product.

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. Government

Printing Ofce, Washington, D.C. 20402. Please specify stock number 004-000-00345-4

when ordering copies.

Notice: The changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for

compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
