Fax Branding
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful
for any person to use a computer or other electronic device to send
any message via a telephone facsimile machine unless such message
clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted
page or on the first page of the transmission the following
information:
1 the date and time of transmission
2 identification of either business, business entity or individual
sending the message; and
3 telephone number of either the sending machine, business,
business entity or individual.
The Telephone Company may make changes in its communications
facilities, equipment operations or procedures where such action is
reasonably required in the operation of its business and is not
inconsistent with the rules and regulations in FCC Part 68. If such
changes can be reasonably expected to render any customer
terminal equipment incompatible with telephone company
communications facilities, or require modification or alteration of
such terminal equipment, or otherwise materially affect its use or
performance, the customer shall be given adequate notice in
writing, to allow the customer an opportunity to maintain
uninterrupted service

Ringer Equivalence Number
The Ringer Equivalence Number and FCC Registration Number for
this machine may be found on the label located on the bottom or
rear of the machine. In some instances you may need to provide
these numbers to the telephone company.
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is a measure of the electrical
load placed on the telephone line, and is useful for determining
whether you have “overloaded” the line. Installing several s of
equipment on the same telephone line may result in problems
making and receiving telephone calls, especially ringing when your
line is called. The sum of all Ringer Equivalence Numbers of the
equipment on your telephone line should be less than five in order
to assure proper service from the telephone company. In some cases,
a sum of five may not be usable on your line. If any of your telephone
equipment is not operating properly, you should immediately
remove it from your telephone line, as it may cause harm to the
telephone network.
The equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the
requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the rear of this equipment is
a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier
in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be
provided to the telephone company.
