Notice to Users of the Telephone Network
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the inside of the wall plate is
a label that contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and ringer
equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, this information must be
provided to the telephone company.
This equipment is intended to be hard wired to the telephone line’s primary protector
and to the inside building wiring. The 6-position modular wall jack is designed to be
connected to compatible modular plugs which are Part 68 compliant.
The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices which may be connected to the
telephone line. Excessive RENs on the 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 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 RENs, contact the local telephone
company.
