connection to the public switched telephone
network and is in compliance with parts 15 and
68, FCC Rules and Regulations and the Technical
Requirements for Telephone Terminal
Equipment published by ACTA.

On the bottom of this equipment is a label

telephone number is called. In most (but not all)
areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices
connected to one line should not exceed 5. to be
certain of the number of devices you may connect
to your line as determined by the REN, you
should contact your local telephone company.
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to
the premises wiring and telephone network must
comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and
requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant
telephone cord and modular plug is provided with
this product. It is designed to be connected to a
compatible modular jack that is also compliant.
See installation instructions for details.

discontinuance; (2) afford you the opportunity to
correct the situation; and (3) inform you of your
right to bring a complaint to the Commission

are expected to affect the use or performance of
