Additional Information
FCC Part 68 and ACTA
If this equipment was approved for connection to the telephone network prior to July
23, 2001, it complies with Part 68 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
rules. If the equipment was approved after that date, it complies with the Part 68 rules
and with Technical Requirements for Connection of Equipment to the Telephone
Network adopted by the Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA).
We are required to provide you with the following information.
1. Product identifier and REN information
The label on the back or bottom of this equipment contains, among other
things, an identifier indicating product approval and the Ringer
Equivalence Number (REN). This information must be provided to your
local telephone company upon request. For equipment approved prior
to July 23, 2001, the product identifier is preceded by the phrase “FCC
Reg No.” and the REN is listed separately. For equipment approved after
that date, the product identifier is preceded by “US” and a colon (:), and
the REN is encoded in the product identifier without a decimal point as
the sixth and seventh characters following the colon. For example, the
product identifier US:AAAEQ03T123XYZ would indicate an REN of 0.3.
The REN is used to determine how many devices you may connect to
your telephone line and still have them ring when you are called. In most,
but not all areas, the sum of all RENs should be five (5.0) or less. You
may want to contact your local telephone company for more information.
2. Connection and use with the nationwide telephone network
The plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring
and the telephone network must comply with the applicable Part 68 rules

RJ11 jack should normally be used for connecting to a single line and
an RJ14 jack for two lines. See Installation Instructions in the user’s
manual. This equipment may not be used with Coin Telephone Lines
or with Party Lines. If you have specially wired alarm dialing equipment
connected to your telephone line, ensure the connection of this
equipment does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions
about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone
company or a qualified installer.
3. Repair instructions
