FCC REGISTRATION INFORMATION

Your telephone equipment is registered with the Federal Communications Commission and is in compliance with parts 15 and 68, FCC Rules and Regulations.

1 Notification to the Local Telephone Company

On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other

information, the FCC Registration number and Ringer Equivalence

Number (REN) for the equipment.You must, upon request, provide

this information to your telephone company.

The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you may

connect to your telephone line and still have all of these devices

ring when your 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.

IMPORTANT: Because cordless phones operate on electricity, you should have at least one phone in your home that isn’t cordless, in case the power in your home goes out.
