telephone network and is in compliance
with parts 15 and 68, FCC Rules and
Regulations and the Technical
Requirements for Telephone Terminal
Equipment published by ACTA.
20.2 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. 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.
