FCC INFORMATION
We have designed your System 2100 to conform to federal
regulations, and you can connect it to most telephone lines.
However, each system (and each device, such as a tele-
phone or answering machine) that you connect to the tele-
phone line draws power from the line. We refer to this power
draw as the device’s
ringer equivalence number or REN.
The REN is shown on a label on the bottom of the system.
If you use more than one telephone or other device on the
line, add up all of the RENs. If the total is more than five,
your telephone might not ring. In rural areas, a total REN of
three might impair ringer operation. If ringer operation is im-
paired, remove a device from the line.
Your system complies with Part 68 of
FCC Rules. You must,
upon request, provide the FCC registration number and the
REN to your telephone company. Both numbers are shown
on the bottom of the system.
Note: You must not connect the system to:
• Coin-operated systems
• Party-line systems
• Most electronic key telephone systems
