1.This equipment complies with Part 68 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules. On the outside surface of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC registra- tion number and ringer equivalence number (REN). If requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company.

2.The suitable USOC jack (Universal Service Order Code connecting arrangement) for this equipment is shown below. If applicable, the facility interface codes (FIC) and service order codes (SOC) are shown.

An FCC-compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this equipment. This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using a compatible modular jack that is Part 68 compliant. See installation instructions for details.

3.The ringer equivalence number (REN) is used to determine the quantity of devices that may be connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To learn the number of devices that may be connected to the line, contact the telephone company to determine the maximum REN for the calling area.

4.If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the tele- phone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinu- ance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn’t practical, the telephone company will notify you 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.
