Notice to Users of the United States Telephone Network
The following notice applies to versions of the Hotwire ADSL/R Bridge/Router, Model 6381, that have been FCC
Part 68 approved.
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 or RJ14C 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/R Bridge/Router 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/R Bridge/Router, 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/R Bridge/Router does not disable the alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable
alarm equipment, consult your Telephone Company or a qualified installer.
