1  Notification to the Local Telephone Company
 

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

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.

 

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.

Notes  
•  This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company.
•  Party lines are subject to state tariffs, and therefore, you may not be able to use your own 

telephone equipment if you are on a party line. Check with your local telephone company.

•  Notice must be given to the telephone company upon permanent disconnection of your 

telephone from your line.

•  If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, 

ensure the installation of this product does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have 

questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a 

qualified installer.

2  Rights of the Telephone Company 
 

Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the telephone 

network, the telephone company shall, where practicable, notify you that temporary 

discontinuance of service may be required. Where prior notice is not practicable and the 

circumstances warrant such action, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue 

service immediately. In case of such temporary discontinuance, the telephone company 

must: (1) promptly notify you of such temporary discontinuance; (2) afford you the 

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

to the Commission pursuant to procedures set forth in Subpart E of Part 68, FCC Rules and 

Regulations.

 

The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment, 

operations or procedures where such action is required in the operation of its business and 

not inconsistent with FCC Rules and Regulations. If these changes are expected to affect the 

use or performance of your telephone equipment, the telephone company must give you 

adequate notice, in writing, to allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.
