INSTALLATION
Your console's telephone dialer is de-
signed to conform to federal regula-
tions, and you can connect it to most
telephone lines. However, each tele-
phone or telephone device that you
connect to the telephone line draws
power from the telephone line. We re-
fer to this power draw as the device's
ringer equivalence number, or REN.
The REN is on the bottom of the con-
sole.
If you use more than one telephone or
other device on the line, add up all the
RENs. If the total is more than five,
your telephones might not ring. In rural
areas, a total REN of three might im-
pair ringer operation. If ringer opera-
tion is impaired, remove one of the
devices from the line.
Note:
You must not connect your con-
sole to:
coin-operated systems
party-line systems
most electronic key telephone
systems
Your console's telephone dialer com-
plies with Part 68 of
FCC Rules
. You
must, upon request, provide the FCC
registration number and the REN to
your telephone company. Both num-
bers are on the bottom of the console.
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
In the unlikely event that your security
console dialer causes problems on the
phone line, the phone company can
temporarily discontinue your service.
If this happens, the phone company at-
tempts to notify you in advance.
If advance notice is not practical, the
phone company notifies you as soon
as possible and advises you of your
right to file a complaint with the FCC.
Also, the phone company can make
changes to its lines, equipment, opera-
tions, or procedures that could affect
the operation of this telephone. The
telephone company notifies you of
these changes in advance, so you can
take the necessary steps to prevent in-
terruption of your telephone service.
