Connection and Use:
The FCC requires you to use a modular tele-
phone jack. This equipment may not be used
with party line service or coin-operated tele-
phone lines.
Notification of the Telephone Company
The FCC requires that upon request of your
local telephone company you provide the fol-
lowing information: the line to which you will
connect the Caller ID unit (your phone num-
ber), the Caller ID units FCC registration num-
ber and ringer equivalence number (REN)
(located on the back of your Caller ID unit),
and the USOC jack required (USOC RJ-11C or
RJ-11W). (note: the REN is useful in determin-
ing how many devices you may connect to your
telephone line and still have all of them ring
when someone calls your telephone number.
in most, but not all areas, the sum of all RENs
should be five or less. contact your local tele-
phone company for more information.)
Problems And Repairs
If your Caller ID unit is malfunctioning, the FCC
requires you to completely disconnect it until
