The following information must be provided to the telephone company before the 6808 can be connected to the phone lines:
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by ACTA. On the inside cover of this equipment is 
a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier. If requested, this information must be provided to the telephone com-
pany.
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 
68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord (not provided) and modular jack must be utilized with this 
product. It is designed to be used with a modular jack that is also compliant.
The REN (ringer equivalence number) provided on this installation sheet is used to determine the number of devices that may be con-
nected to the public switched telephone network. This number must not exceed 5.0. Since this product has an REN of 1.0A, the number 
of devices is limited. The REN number is embedded in the FCC registration number as 10A.
If the 6808 causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that the temporarily discontinuance 
of service may be required. But if advance notice is not practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. 
Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the operation of the 
equipment. If this happens the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to main-
tain uninterrupted service.
If trouble is experienced with the 6808, for repair or warranty information, please contact Honeywell Silent Knight technical support at 
800-446-6444 or www.silentknight.com. If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request 
that you disconnect the 6808 until the problem has been resolved.
This product cannot be adjusted or repaired in the field. It must be returned to the factory for service.
This equipment is not designed for use with party line service. Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. You may contact 
the state public utility commission, public service commission or corporation commission for information.
Since the 6808 is a commercial fire alarm panel, it must be connected upstream of all other equipment utilizing the phone lines. If you 
have questions about the installation, contact your telephone company or a qualified installer.
