If this equipment was approved for
connection to the telephone network
prior to July 23, 2001, it complies with
Part 68 of the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) rules. If the
equipment was approved after that
date, it complies with the Part 68 rules
and with Technical Requirements for
Connection of Equipment to the
Telephone Network adopted by the
Administrative Council for Terminal
Attachments (ACTA). We are required
to provide you with the following
information.
1. Product identifier and REN
information
The label on the back or bottom
of this equipment contains,
among other things, an identifier
indicating product approval and
the Ringer Equivalence Number
(REN). This information must
be provided to your local
telephone company upon
request. For equipment
approved prior to July 23, 2001,
the product identifier is preceded
by the phrase “FCC Reg No.”
and the REN is listed separately.
For equipment approved after
that date, the product identifier
is preceded by “US” and a colon
(:), and the REN is encoded in
the product identifier without a
decimal point as the sixth and
seventh characters following the
colon. For example, the product
identifier US:AAAEQ03T123XYZ
would indicate an REN of 0.3.
The REN is used to determine
how many devices you may
connect to your telephone line
and still have them ring when
you are called. In most, but not
all areas, the sum of all RENs
should be five (5.0) or less. You
may want to contact your local
telephone company for more
information.
2. Connection and use with
the nationwide telephone
network
The plug and jack used to
connect this equipment to the
premises wiring and the
telephone network must comply
with the applicable Part 68 rules
and technical requirements
adopted by 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. An RJ11 jack
should normally be used for
connecting to a single line and
an RJ14 jack for two lines. See
Installation Instructions in the
user’s manual. This equipment
may not be used with Coin
Telephone Lines or with Party
Lines. If you have specially
wired alarm dialing equipment
connected to your telephone
line, ensure the connection of

4. Rights of the telephone
com pany
If this equipment is causing
harm to the telephone network,
the telephone company may
temporarily discontinue your
telephone service. The
telephone company is required
to notify you before interrupting
service. If advance notice is not
practical, you will be notified as
soon as possible. You will be
given the opportunity to correct
the problem and the telephone
company is required to inform
you of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC. Your
telephone company may make
changes in its facilities,
equipment, operation, or
procedures that could affect the
proper functioning of this product.

changes are planned.
5. Hearing aid compatibility

6. Programming/testing of
emergency numbers
If this product has memory
dialing locations, you may choose
to store police, fire department
and emergency medical service
telephone numbers in these
locations. If you do, please keep
three things in mind:
a We recommend that you also
write the telephone number on
the directory card, so that
you can still dial the emergency
number manually if the memory
dialing feature doesn’t work.
b This feature is provided only as a
convenience, and the manufac-
turer assumes no responsibil-
ity for customer reliance upon
the memory feature.
c Testing the emergency tele-
phone numbers you have
stored is not recommended.
However, if you do make a call to
an emergency number:
• You must remain on the line
and briefly explain the rea-
son for the call before hang-
ing up.
• Programming/testing of emer-
gency numbers should be per-
formed during off-peak hours,
such as in the early morning or
late evening, when the emer-
gency services tend to be less
busy.
