FCC 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 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.
Rights of the telephone service provider
If this equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone service provider
may temporarily discontinue your telephone service. The telephone service provider is
required to notify you before interrupting service. If advance notice is not practical, you will be
notified as soon as possible. You will be given the opportunity to correct the problem and the
telephone service provider is required to inform you of your right to file a complaint with the
FCC. Your telephone service provider may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operation,
or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of this product. The telephone service
provider is required to notify you if such changes are planned.
