FCC Requirements
Part 68: The Sensaphone® Model 400 complies with Part 68 of the FCC
rules. On the back of the unit there is a label that contains, among other
information, the FCC Registration Number and the Ringer Equivalence
Number (REN) for this equipment. You must, upon request, provide this
information to your local telephone company.
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices that you may
connect to your telephone line and still have all of those 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
five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that you may connect
to your line, you may want to contact your local telephone company to
determine the maximum REN for your calling area.
This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the
telephone company. Connection to party lines is subject to state tariffs.
Should the Model 400 cause harm to the telephone network, the
telephone company may discontinue your service temporarily. If possible,
they will notify you in advance. But if advance notice isn’t practical, the
telephone company may temporarily discontinue service without notice
and you will be notified as soon as possible. You will be informed of
your right to file a complaint with the FCC. The telephone company may
make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures where
