Your telephone equipment is approved  
for connection to the public switched  
telephone network and is in compliance  
with parts 15 and 68, FCC Rules and  
Regulations and the Technical  
Notes  
This equipment may not be used on  
coin service provided by the  
telephone company.  
Requirements for Telephone Terminal  
Equipment published by the ACTA.  
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 have  
questions about what will disable  
alarm equipment, consult your  
telephone company or a qualified

1.1.1 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.

Interference Information  
Company  
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.  
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:  
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.  
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.
