We have designed the Equalizer 40 to conform to the federal regulations and you can
connect it to most telephone lines. However, each device you connect to the phone
line draws power from the phone line. This power draw is the deviceʼs Ringer Equiva-
lence Number, or REN. The REN is on the bottom of your phone.
If you are using more than one phone or other device on the line, add up all the REN
numbers. If the total is more than five (or three in rural areas) your phones may not
ring. If your phone is not ringing, remove one of the devices from the line.
If your phone causes problems on the phone line, the phone company can disconnect
your service. The phone company tries to notify you in advance. If advance notice is
not practical, the phone company will notify you as soon as possible and will advise
you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
The phone company can also make changes to its lines, equipment, operations, or
procedures that could affect your phoneʼs operation. The phone company notifies you
in advance, so you can take the necessary steps to prevent interruption of your phones
service.
FCC STATEMENT
Your telephone complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules. You must, upon request, provide
the FCC registration number and the REN to your telephone company. These numbers
are on the bottom of your phone.
