All rights reserved Amulet High Definition IP Television Receiver User’s Guide Part 68 - Compliance Registration This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. A label on the bottom of this equipment contains, among other information, the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) and the product identifier. For products approved after July 23, 2001 the product identifier is in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g. 03 is a REN of 0.3). The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company. This equipment is designed to connect to the telephone network or premises wiring using a compatible modular jack that is Part 68 compliant. An FCC compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with the equipment.
