Notice to Users of the United States Telephone Network
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the
Administrative Council for Terminal Attachment (ACTA). On the bottom side of this equipment is a label
that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If
requested, this number must be provided to the Telephone Company.
This equipment is intended to connect to the Public Switched Telephone Network through a Universal
Service Order Code (USOC) type RJ11C jack. 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 has been designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant.
The Ringer Equivalence Number (or 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. 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. For
example, 03 represents a REN of 0.3.
If the ADSL modem 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 is not 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 the ADSL modem, refer to the repair and warranty information in this document.
If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the Telephone Company may request that you
disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved.
The user may make no repairs to the equipment.
Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission, public
service commission or corporation commission for information.
If the site has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of
the ADSL modem does not disable the alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable
alarm equipment, consult your Telephone Company or a qualified installer.
