PART 15 LIMITATIONS
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radi-
ate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
FCC REQUIREMENTS
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the 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.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive REN's 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
the REN's should not exceed five (5.0) To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as deter-
mined by the total REN's, 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). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.
The plug used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable

questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.
If the E-1600A-TP-EWP 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.
