READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLATION

Your console's telephone dialer is de- signed to conform to federal regula- tions, and you can connect it to most telephone lines. However, each tele- phone or telephone device that you connect to the telephone line draws power from the telephone line. We re- fer to this power draw as the device's ringer equivalence number, or REN. The REN is on the bottom of the con- sole.

If you use more than one telephone or other device on the line, add up all the RENs. If the total is more than five, your telephones might not ring. In rural areas, a total REN of three might im- pair ringer operation. If ringer opera- tion is impaired, remove one of the devices from the line.

Note: You must not connect your con- sole to:

•coin-operated systems

•party-line systems

•most electronic key telephone systems

Your console's telephone dialer com- plies with Part 68 of FCC Rules. You must, upon request, provide the FCC registration number and the REN to your telephone company. Both num- bers are on the bottom of the console.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

In the unlikely event that your security console dialer causes problems on the phone line, the phone company can temporarily discontinue your service.

If this happens, the phone company at- tempts to notify you in advance.

If advance notice is not practical, the phone company notifies you as soon as possible and advises you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.

Also, the phone company can make changes to its lines, equipment, opera- tions, or procedures that could affect the operation of this telephone. The telephone company notifies you of these changes in advance, so you can take the necessary steps to prevent in- terruption of your telephone service.
