FCC and ACTA Information
If this equipment was approved for connection to the telephone network prior to July 23, 2001, it complies with Part 68 of
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules. If the equipment was approved after that date, it complies with the
Part 68 rules and with Technical Requirements for Connection of Equipment to the Telephone Network adopted by the

1. Product identifier and REN information
The label on the back or bottom of this equipment contains, among other things, an identifier indicating product approval
and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). This information must be provided to your local telephone company upon
request. For equipment approved prior to July 23, 2001, the product identifier is preceded by the phrase “FCC Reg No.”
and the REN is listed separately. For equipment approved after that date, the product identifier is preceded by “US” and a
colon (:), and the REN is encoded in the product identifier without a decimal point as the sixth and seventh characters
following the colon. For example, the product identifier US:AAAEQ03T123XYZ would indicate an REN of 0.3. The REN is
used to determine how many devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have them ring when you are
called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of all RENs should be five (5.0) or less. For more information, please contact
your local telephone company.
