FCC Part 15
Warning: Changes or modifica-
tions to this unit not expressly
approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the
user's authority to operate the
equipment.
The equipment has been tested and
found to comply with 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 and
correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.
Increase the separation between
the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an
outlet or on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver
is connected.
Consult the dealer or an
experienced radio/TV technician

FCC Part 68 and ACTA
information
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 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.
1. 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. T h e
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. You may want
to contact your local telephone
company for more information.

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. An RJ11 jack
should normally be used for

Installation Instructions in the
user manual. This equipment
may not be used with Coin
Telephone Lines or with Party
Lines. If you have specially
wired alarm dialing equipment

line, ensure the connection of
this equipment does not disable
your alarm equipment. If you
