compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details.
c) The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to
a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not
ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs
should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be
connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone
company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part
of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX.
The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN
of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.

part 15 of Fcc rules information
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.
Your equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits of a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in 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, you
are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
1. Where it can be done safely, reorient the receiving television or radio antenna.
2. To the extent possible, relocate the television, radio or other receiver with respect
to the telephone equipment. (This increases the separation between the telephone
equipment and the receiver.)
3. Connect the telephone equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the television, radio, or other receiver is connected.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced Radio/TV Technician for help.
Warning: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
industry canada technical Specifications

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be
connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must
also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the company’s
inside wiring associated with a single line individual service may be extended by means
of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be
aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service
in some situations. Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized
Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier.

malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to
disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of
the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are
connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.
Warning: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves,
but should contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority, or electrician, as
appropriate.
The Ringer Equivalence Number is an indication of the maximum number of terminals
