On the bottom 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.

An applicable Universal Service Order Codes (USOC) certification for the jacks used in this equipment is provided (i.e., RJ11C) 

in the packaging with each piece of approved terminal equipment. A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to 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. See installation instructions for details.

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

contact the telephone provider. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product

discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn't practical, the telephone company will notify the

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
