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 radiate 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 determined 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 FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. If your
home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the
installation of this LDB-2 does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about
what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.

If the LDB-2 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 the necessary modifications to
maintain uninterrupted service.
