Government Requirements
Certain governments require that instructions pertaining to connection to the telephone
network be included in the installation and operation manual. Specific instructions are
listed in the following sections.
United States – Notice to Users of the Telephone Network
1. This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the equipment is a
label that contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. The label is located on the
bottom of your RTU.
2. The Hotwire 5620 RTU connects to the Public Switched Telephone Network
(PSTN) using the Universal Service Order Code (USOC) RJ11C or RJ14C.
3. The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is used to determine the quantity of
devices which 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
RENs for the calling area.
4. If the RTU causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will
notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required.
But if advance notice is not 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.
5. 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 for you to make the
necessary modifications in order to maintain uninterrupted service.
6. If you experience trouble with this equipment, please contact your sales or service
representative (as appropriate) for repair or warranty information. If the product
needs to be returned to the company service center for repair, contact them
directly for return instructions using one of the following methods:
— Internet: Visit the Paradyne World Wide Web site at www.paradyne.com.

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