Telephone Devices (Modems)
United States
If this product contains an internal modem it is compliant with Part 68 of the
Federal Communications Commission Rules and Regulations and there will be a
label on the product showing the FCC ID Number and the REN, Ringer
Equivalence Number. The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices
which maybe connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone
line may result in the device not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most
but not all areas, the sum of the RENs should not exceed 5.0. To be certain of
the number of devices that may be connected to the line, as determined by the
total number of RENs, contact the telephone company to determine the
maximum REN for the calling area.
If the modem causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will
notify you in advance; however, if advance notice is not practical, you will be
notified as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment,
operations or procedures that could affect
the operation of the modem. If this happens the telephone company will provide
advance notice so you may
make any necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.
