operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not 
installed and used in accordance with the Operating Guide, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, 
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to 
correct the interference at his/her own expense.
Any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment would void the users authority to operate this device.
Warning: To assure continued compliance, use only USB shielded interface cable when connecting this product to host 
computer. Also, any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could 
void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA.
On the rear panel of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format 
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company.
Ask your telephone company or installer to install the jack suitable for your device if such is not available. 
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 and modular plug is provided with this 
product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for 
details. 
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone 
line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not 
exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, 
contact the local telephone company. The REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format 
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). 
If your telephone equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the Telephone Company may discontinue your service 
temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance. But if advance notice isn’t practical, you will be notified as soon as 
possible. You will be informed of your right to file a complaint with FCC.

télécommunication. Le matériel doit également être installé en suivant une méthode acceptée de raccordement. L’abonné ne doit 
pas oublier qu’il est possible que la conformité aux conditions énoncées cidessus n’empêche pas la dégradation du service dans 
certaines situations.
Les réparations de ce matériel doivent être effectuées par un centre d’entretien canadien autorisé désigné par le fournisseur. La 
compagnie de télécommunications peut demander à l’utilisateur de débrancher un appareil à la suite de réparations ou de
