FCC Notice to Users
Upon request only, you must notify your telephone utility company (telco) of your intention to
install or permanently remove an FCC Part 68 registered device or system. Include the FCC
Registration Number and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) located on the amplifier label.
The REN is the number of recommended devices that may be connected to the telephone
line. An excessive REN may cause the equipment not to ring in response to an incoming call.
In most areas, the sum of the RENs of all equipment on a line should not exceed 5. This
equipment uses FCC compliant RJ-11 modular jacks for network connection. Use FCC Part 68
compatible modular plugs and cabling to connect the equipment to your network. In the
unlikely event that this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone
company can temporarily disconnect your service. The telco may attempt advance warning,
but can disconnect the service and notify you afterwards. In the event a disconnection is nec-
essary, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC. The telco has the
right to make changes to their network, which may affect the operation of your equipment,
provided you are given adequate advance written notice to permit correct operation.
Industry Canada Notice to Users:
The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that
the equipment meets telecommunications network protective, operational and safety
requirement as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Resource
Document(s). The department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the
user’s 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. 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 coordinated by a representative 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 such connections themselves, but should contact the
appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
NOTICE: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an
indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone
interface. The termination of an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject
only to the requirement that the sum of the ringer equivalence numbers of all the devices
does not exceed 5.
