Ringer Equivalence Number

The Ringer Equivalence Number and FCC Registration Number for this product may

be found on the label located on the bottom or rear of the product. In some instances

you may need to provide these numbers to the telephone company.

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is a measure of the electrical load placed on

the telephone line, and is useful for determining whether you have “overloaded” the

line. Installing several types of equipment on the same telephone line may result in

problems making and receiving telephone calls, especially ringing when your line is

called. The sum of all Ringer Equivalence Numbers of the equipment on your

telephone line should be less than five in order to assure proper service from the

telephone company. In some cases, a sum of five may not be usable on your line. If

any of your telephone equipment is not operating properly, you should immediately

remove it from your telephone line, as it may cause harm to the telephone network.

WARNING:
FCC Regulations state that changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly

approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate this

equipment. In the event that terminal equipment causes harm to the telephone

network, the telephone company should notify the customer that service may be

stopped. However, where prior notice is impractical, the company may temporarily

cease service, providing that they:
a) Promptly notify the customer.
b) Give the customer an opportunity to correct the equipment problem.
c) Inform the customer of the right to bring a complaint to the Federal

Communication Commission pursuant to procedures set out in FCC Rules and

Regulations Subpart E of Part 68.

You should also know that:
• Your product is not designed to be connected to a digital PBX system.
• If you intend to use a computer modem or fax modem on the same phone line as

your product, you may experience transmission and reception problems with all

the equipment. It is recommended that no other equipment, except for a regular

telephone, share the line with your product.

• If your area experiences a high incidence of lightning or power surges, we

recommend that you install surge protectors for both the power and the telephone

lines. Surge protectors can be purchased from your dealer or telephone and

electronic specialty stores.

• When programming emergency numbers and/or making test calls to emergency

numbers, use a non-emergency number to advise the emergency service

dispatcher of your intentions. The dispatcher will give you further instructions on

how to actually test the emergency number.
