FCC and ACTA Information
If this equipment was approved for connec- tion to the telephone network prior to July 23, 2001, it complies with Part 68 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules. If the equipment was approved after that date, it complies with the Part 68 rules and with Technical Requirements for Connection of Equipment to the Telephone Network adopted by the Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA). We are required to pro- vide you with the following information.
1. Product identifier and REN information
The label on the back or bottom of this equip- ment contains, among other things, an identi- fier indicating product approval and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). This infor- mation must be provided to your local tele- phone company upon request. For equipment approved prior to July 23, 2001, the product identifier is preceded by the phrase “FCC Reg No.” and the REN is listed separately. For equipment approved after that date, the prod- uct identifier is preceded by “US” and a colon (:), and the REN is encoded in the product identifier without a decimal point as the sixth and seventh characters following the colon. For example, the product identifier US:AAAEQ03T123XYZ would indicate a REN of 0.3.
The REN is used to determine how many devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have them ring when you are called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of all RENs should be five (5.0) or less. For more information, please contact your local tele- phone company.
