FCC and Other Information
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC
rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA.
On the rear of this equipment is a label that
contains, among other information, a product
identifier in the format US:ACJ----------.
If requested, this number must be provided to the
telephone company.

A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to
the premises wiring and telephone network must
comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and
requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant
telephone cord and modular plug is provided with
this product. It is designed to be connected to a
compatible modular jack that is also compliant.
The REN is used to determine the number of
devices that may be connected to a telephone line.
Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in
the devices not ringing in response to an incoming
call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs
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 RENs, contact the local
telephone company. For products approved after
July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the
product identifier that has the format
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ##
are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a
REN of 0.3).
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone
network, the telephone company will notify you in
advance that temporary discontinuance of service
may be required. But if advance notice isn
’
t
practical, the telephone company will notify the
customer 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 equipment. If this
happens the telephone company will provide
advance notice in order for you to make necessary
modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.
If trouble is experienced with this equipment, for
repair or warranty information, please contact a

Connection to party line service is subject to state
tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission,
public service commission or corporation

are not adequately shielded from external RF (radio
frequency) energy. If noise occurs, use an optional
headset accessory or the speakerphone option (if
applicable) when using this phone. Consult with
your audiologist or Hearing Aid manufacturer about
the availability of Hearing Aids which provide
adequate shielding to RF energy commonly
emitted digital devices.

will disable alarm equipment, consult your
telephone company or a qualified installer.
