FCC, ACTA and IC information
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
the 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
telephone service provider 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 telephone service
provider for more information.
