FCC and ACTA 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.
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 indicates the REN would be 0.3.
The REN is used to determine how many devices you can 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 might
want to contact your telephone service provider for more information.
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 wall 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 this equipment does not
disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will
disable the alarm equipment, consult your telephone service provider or
qualified installer.
