Appendix
FCC and ACTA information
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 the 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
telephone service provider 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 indicates the REN would be 0.3. The REN is
used to determine how many devices you can 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 might want to
contact your telephone service provider 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 and technical requirements adopted by ACTA. A compliant
telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a
compatible modular wall jack that is also compliant. An 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 the alarm equipment, consult your
telephone service provider or qualified installer.
3. Repair instructions
If this equipment is malfunctioning, it must be unplugged from the modular wall jack until the problem
has been corrected. Repairs to this telephone equipment can only be made by the manufacturer or its
authorized agents. For repair procedures, follow the instructions outlined under the limited warranty.
4. Rights of the telephone service provider
If this equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone service provider may
temporarily discontinue your telephone service. The telephone service provider is required to notify you
before interrupting service. If advance notice is not practical, you will be notified as soon as possible.
You will be given the opportunity to correct the problem and the telephone service provider is required
to inform you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC. Your telephone service provider may make
changes in its facilities, equipment, operation, or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of
this product. The telephone service provider is required to notify you if such changes are planned.
5. Hearing aid compatibility
If this product is equipped with a corded or cordless handset, it is hearing aid compatible.

emergency medical service telephone numbers in these locations. If you do, please keep three things in
