FCC INFORMATION
This surge protector has been tested and found to comply
with all applicable UL and FCC standards.
We have designed your surge protector to conform to
federal regulations, and you can connect it to most tele-
phone lines. However, each device that you connect to
the telephone line draws power from the telephone line.
We refer to this power draw as the device’s ringer equiva-
lency number, or REN. The REN is shown on the bottom
of your surge protector.
If you use more than one telephone or other device on
the line, add up all of the RENs. If the total is more than
five (three in rural areas), your telephones might not ring.
If ringer operation is impaired, remove a device from the
line.
Your surge protector complies with Part 68 of
FCC Rules
.
You must, upon request, provide the FCC registration
number and the REN to your telephone company. Both
numbers are shown on the bottom of your surge protec-
tor.
Note: You must not connect your surge protector to:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key telephone systems
