IC COMPLIANCE
IC: 1970A-COLLABRT
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN): 0.0B(ac)
NOTICE: The term “IC” before the certification/registration number signifies that Industry of Canada technical
specifications were met.
This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective operational and
safety requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is an indication of the maximum number of devices allowed to be connected
to a telephone interface. The termination of an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to
the requirement that the sum of the RENs of all the devices not exceed five. / L’indice d’équivalence de la sonnerie
(IES) sert à indiquer le nombre maximal de terminaux qui peuvent être raccordés à une interface téléphonique. La
terminaison d’une interface peut consister en une combinaison quelconque de dispositifs, à la seule condition que la
somme d’indices d’équivalence de la sonnerie de tous les dispositifs n’excède pas cinq.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs
on the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas,
the sum of the RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to
the line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the telephone company to obtain the maximum RENs for the calling
area. The REN for this product is listed above.
