cal, the telephone company will notify the
customer as soon as possible. Also, you will
be advised of your right to file a complaint
with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.
a) This equipment complies with Part 68 of
the FCC rules and the requirements adopted
by the ACTA. On the bottom of this equip-
ment is a label that contains, among other

this number must be provided to the tele-
phone company.
e) The telephone company may make
changes in its facilities, equipment, opera-
tions or procedures that could affect the
operation of the equipment. If this happens
the telephone company will provide
advance notice in order for you to make
necessary modifications to maintain
uninterrupted service.
b) A plug and jack used to connect this
equipment to the premises wiring and

c) The REN is used to determine the number

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. For products
approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for
this product is part of the product identifier
that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX.
The digits represented by ## are the REN
without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN
of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is
separately shown on the label.
g) This telephone equipment is not intended
to be repaired and it contains no repairable
parts. Opening the equipment or any
