Interference Information

This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy which may interfere with

residential radio and television reception if not properly installed and used in accordance

with instructions contained in this manual. Reasonable protection against such interference

is ensured, although there is no guarantee this will not occur in a given installation. If

interference is suspected and verified by switching this equipment on and off, the user is

encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient the radio/television receiver’s antenna, relocate the equipment with respect to

the receiver, plug the equipment and receiver into separate circuit outlets. The user may

also wish to consult a qualified radio/television technician for additional suggestions. This

equipment has been fully tested and complies with all limits for Class B computing devices

pursuant to part 15 FCC Rules and Regulations.

Telephone Network Information

Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the telephone network,

the telephone company, where practicable, may notify you that temporary discontinuance

of service may be required. Where prior notice is not practicable and the circumstances

warrant such action, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue service

immediately.

The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment,

operations or procedures where such action is required in the operation of its business. If

these changes are expected to affect the use or performance of your telephone equipment,

the telephone company will likely give you adequate notice to allow you to maintain

uninterrupted service.

Notice must be given to the telephone company upon termination of your telephone from

your line.

most (but not all) areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line should

not exceed 5. 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.
