This equipment 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 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.
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.
This equipment is not intended to be used with Party Lines. 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

If this equipment is malfunctioning, it should be unplugged from the modular
jack until the problem is corrected. Repairs to this equipment can only be
made by the manufacturer or its authorized agents. For information on repair
procedures, follow the instructions provided with the limited warranty. 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 practical 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
