Notice to Users of the Public Switched Telephone Network

1.This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. The label is located on the bottom of the Model 3810 and 3820 modems. This label is located on the Model 3811’s circuit card assembly. If requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company.

2.Page A of this manual contains the Universal Service Order Codes (USOC) associated with the services on which the equipment is to be connected.

3.The Ringer Equivalence (REN) is used to determine the quantity of devices which 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 be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to the line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the telephone company to determine the maximum RENs for the calling area.
