1. Product identier and REN information
The label on the back or bottom of this equipment contains, among other things,
an identier 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
identier is preceded by the phrase “FCC Reg No.” and the REN is listed separately.
For equipment approved aer that date, the product identier is preceded by
“US” and a colon (:), and the REN is encoded in the product identier without
a decimal point as the sixth and seventh characters following the colon. For
example, the product identier US:AAAEQ03T123XYZ would indicate an REN of
0.3.
The REN is used to determine how many devices you may 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 ve (5.0) or less. You may want to contact
your telephone service provider for more information.
