d) 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, 2002, the REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format
US: AC6AL05B-205700. 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.
e) If this equipment 5700 causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in
advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn't practical, the
telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to
file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.
f) The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could
affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens the telephone company will provide advance notice in
order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.
g) If trouble is experienced with this equipment 5700, for repair or warranty information, please contact Silent
Knight (see Section 1.4). If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company

this 5700 does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm
equipment, consult your telephone company or qualified installer.
Electrical Safety Advisory:
Parties responsible for equipment requiring AC power should consider including an advisory notice in their
customer information suggesting the customer use a surge arrestor. Telephone companies report that electrical
surges, typically lightning transients, are very destructive to customer terminal equipment connected to AC
power sources. This has been identified as a major nationwide problem.
