Ringer

Equivalence

Number (REN)

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. Located on the bottom of the portable computers and on the modem in desktop computers is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC Registration Number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. Upon request, you must provide this information to your telephone company.

The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have all of the devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most areas (but not all), 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 you may connect to your telephone line, as determined by the REN, you should contact your local telephone company to determine the maximum REN for your calling area.

The REN for the modem contained in this product does not exceed 1.0.
