Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Telephone
Company Requirements
1.
This adapter complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. A label is affixed to the adapter
that contains, among other things, the FCC registration number, USOC, and Ringer
Equivalency Number (REN) for this equipment. If these numbers are requested,
provide this information to your telephone company.
2.
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your
telephone line and still have those devices ring when your number is called. In most,
but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices should not exceed five (5.0). To
be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line, as determined by
the REN, you should call your local telephone company to determine the maximum
REN for your calling area.
3.
If the adapter causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may
discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance; if
advance notice is not practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will be
advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
4.
Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations,
or procedures that could affect the proper operation of your equipment. If they do,
you will be given advance notice to give you an opportunity to maintain
uninterrupted service.
5.

The telephone company may ask you to disconnect the adapter from the network until

malfunctioning.
