							Important Information7
•
render the customers equipment incompatible with telephone company 
communications

Adequate notice provides the customer with the opportunity to make any necessary 
alterations in order to maintain uninterrupted service.
Note
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B 
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to 
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential 
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy 
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful 
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that 
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause 
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by 
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the 
interference by one or more of the following measures.
— Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
— Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
— Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which 
 the receiver is connected.
— Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Ringer Equivalence No. (REN)
Customers, before connecting terminal equipment to the telephone network, shall upon 
request of the Telephone Company, inform the Telephone Company of the particular line(s) 
to which such connection is made, the F.C.C. registration number (see the label on the back 
of the unit) and ringer equivalence number (REN) of the registered terminal equipment.
The REN is useful in determining the quantity of devices you may connect to your 
telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your telephone number is called. 
In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line 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 contact your local telephone company to determine 
the maximum REN for your calling area.
CAUTION
Any change or modification made to the terminal equipment, not expressly approved by the 
manufacturer, could void the users authority to operate this equipment.
When programming and/or making test calls to emergency numbers:
• Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call.
• Perform these tests during off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evening.
