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 Technical Requirements for Connection

of Equipment to the Telephone Network adopted by the

Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA). We

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

should be five (5.0) or less. You may want to contact your

local telephone company for more information.
