Made in U.S.A.
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules. On the product is a label that contains the FCC
registration number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this device. If requested, this information must be provided to the telephone

An FCC compliant telephone cord with a modular plug is provided with this equipment. This equipment is designed to be connected to the

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is used to determine the quantity of devices which may be connected to the telephone line. Excessive
REN’s on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most areas, the sum of REN’s should not
exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total REN’s, contact the local
telephone company.
If this device causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of
service may be required. The telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved.
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the operation of this
equipment. If this happens the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain
uninterrupted service.
This equipment cannot be used on telephone company provided coin service. Connection to party line service is subject to state
tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission or public service commission for information.

Canadian Notice
The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications
network protective, operation, and safety requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the users’
satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications
company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the inside wiring associated with a
single-line individual service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly. The customer should be aware that compliance
with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or
alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the
user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines, and internal metallic
water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.
CAUTION:
Users should not attempt to make electrical ground connections by themselves, but should contact the appropriate inspection
authority or an electrician, as appropriate.
The Load Number (LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the percentage of the total load to be connected to a telephone line used by
the device to prevent overloading. The termination of a line may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that
the total of the Load Numbers of all devices does not exceed 100. The Load Number for this device appears on a label on the product.
