FCC wants you to know  
This equipment complied with part 68 of the FCC rules ACTA technical requirements.  
On the bottom of the base of this equipment is a label that contains, among other  
information, the FCC Registration Number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for  
this equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone  
company.  
The USOC number of the registration jack for the equipment is RJ11C.  
The FCC compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this equipment.  
This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises  
wiring using a compatible modular jack which is TIA/EIA-IS-968 compliant.  
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your  
telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your telephone number is  
called. In most, by not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one  
line should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices you may  
connect to your line, as determined by the REN, you should contact your local  
telephone company to determine the maximum REN for your calling area.  
If your telephone equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone  
company may discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in  
advance. But, if advance notice isn’t practical, you will be notified as soon as possible.  
You will be informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.  
Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or  
procedures that could affect the proper functioning of your equipment. If they do, you  
will be notified in advance to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted  
telephone service. If you experience trouble with this telephone equipment, the  
telephone company may ask that you disconnect this equipment from the network until  
the problem has been corrected or until you are sure that the equipment is not  
malfunctioning.  
This equipment cannot be used on telephone company provided coin service.

Warnings:  
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for  
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.  
When your telephone is not in use, make sure the handset is engaged into the base unit.  
If it is determined that your telephone is malfunctioning, the FCC requires that it be  
disconnected from the modular outlet until the problem has been corrected.  
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
