Compliance
• For equipment approved before July 23, 2001: This dialer complies with Part 68
of the FCC rules. A label attached to the dialer contains, among other information,
the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN) for this
equipment. If requested, this information must be provided to the telephone
company.
For equipment approved after July 23, 2001: This dialer complies with Part 68 of
the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the Administrative Council for
Terminal Attachments (ACTA). A label attached to the dialer contains, among
other information, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If
requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company.
• The plug and jack used to connect the dialer to the premises wiring and telephone
network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements
adopted by ACTA. The dialer must be connected to a compliant RJ-31X or RJ-38X
jack using a compliant cord. If a modular telephone cord is supplied with the
dialer, it is designed to meet these requirements. See installation instructions for
details.
• A ringer equivalence number (REN) is used to determine how many devices you
can connect to a telephone line. If the total REN value for all devices connected on
a telephone line exceeds that allowed by the telephone company, the devices
may not ring on an incoming call. In most (but not all) areas the total REN value
should not exceed 5.0. To be certain of the total REN value allowed on a telephone
line, contact the local telephone company.
For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN is part of the product identifier
in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits ## represent the REN without a
decimal point. Example: 03 is an REN of 0.3. For earlier products the REN is listed
separately.
