digital device. Each product marketed is identical to the representative unit tested and founded to be compliant with the standards. Records

maintained continue to reflect the equipment being produced can be expected to be within the variation accepted, due to quantity production and

testing on a statistical basis as required by 47 CFR 2.909. Operation is subject to the following condition: This device must accept any

interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. The above named party is responsible for ensuring that the

equipment complies with the standards of 47 CFR, Paragraphs 15.107 to 15.109

FCC Part 68 Statement

This equipment complies with part 68 of the FCC rules. On the rear panel of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC

registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN) for the equipment. If requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company.

The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices that may be connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the

devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number

of devices that may be connected to the line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the telephone company to determine the maximum REN for the

calling area.

This equipment uses the following USOC jack: RJC. An FCC-compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this equipment. This equipment is

designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using a compatible modular jack that is Part 68 compliant. This equipment cannot be

used on telephone company-provided coin services. Connection to Party Line Service is subject to state tariffs.

If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that the temporary discontinuance of services

may be required. If advance notice isn’t practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right

to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.

The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this

happens, the telephone company will provide advance notice in order to maintain uninterrupted service.

If the trouble is causing harm to the telephone system, the telephone company may request that you remove the equipment from the network until the

problem is resolved.

Industry Canada CS-03 Statement

The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network

protective, operational and safety requirements as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements document(s). The

department does not guarantee that the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications

company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. The customer should be aware that compliance with

the above conditions might not prevent degradation of service in some situations. Only a representative designated by the supplier should

coordinate repairs to certified equipment. Repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions may give the

telecommunication company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.

Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water

pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas. Users should not attempt to make

such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) of this device is displayed on the product. The REN assigned to each terminal device provides an

indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface may consist of

any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all devices does not exceed 5.

The telephone connection arrangement is a CA11A.
