Notification to the Local Telephone Company On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information, the US number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone company. The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have all of these devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most (but not all) areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one PSTN 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. A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premise wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord set with modular plugs is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details. Notes • This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company. • Party lines are subject to state tariffs, and therefore, you may not be able to use your own telephone equipment if you are on a party line. Check with your local telephone company. • Notice must be given to the telephone company upon permanent disconnection of your telephone from your line. • If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of this product does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your alarm equipment supplier or a qualified installer. Rights of the Telephone Company Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the telephone network, the telephone company shall, where practicable, 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. In case of such temporary discontinuance, the telephone company must: (1) promptly notify you of such temporary discontinuance; (2) afford you the opportunity to correct the situation; and (3) inform you of your right to bring a complaint to the Commission pursuant to procedures set forth in Subpart E of Part 68, FCC Rules and Regulations. 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 AND NOT INCONSISTENT WITH FCC RULES AND REGULATIONS. IF THESE CHANGES ARE EXPECTED TO AFFECT THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF YOUR TELEPHONE EQUIPMENT, THE TELEPHONE COMPANY MUST GIVE YOU ADEQUATE NOTICE, IN WRITING, TO ALLOW YOU TO MAINTAIN UNINTERRUPTED SERVICE. 22 Appendix
