READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLATION

Each device that you connect to the phone line draws power from the phone
line.  We refer to this power draw as the device's ringer equivalence
number, or REN.  The REN is shown on the bottom of your TAD.

If you are using more than one device on the line, add up all the RENs.  If
the total is more than five, your phone might not ring and your TAD might
not answer.  In rural areas, a total REN of three might impair ringer
operation.  If ringer operation is impaired, disconnect one of the devices.

NOTE:  You must not connect your TAD to:

       Coin-operated systems

       Party-line systems

       Most electronic key phone systems

FCC STATEMENT

Your TAD complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules.  You must, upon request,
provide the FCC registration number and the REN to your phone company.
Both numbers are shown on the bottom of your TAD.

This TAD has been tested and found to comply with all applicable UL and
FCC standards.
