FCC STATEMENT
Your surge protector complies with Part 68
of FCC Rules and the requirements adopted
by the ACTA. On the bottom of this product
is a label with this product’s FCC Product
Identification number in the format
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, you
must provide this information to the
telephone company.
A plug and jack used to connect this
equipment to the premises wiring and
telephone network must comply with the
applicable FCC Part 68 rules and
requirements adopted by the ACTA.
A compliant telephone cord and modular
plug is provided with this product. It is
designed to be connected to a compatible
modular jack that is also compliant. See
installation instructions for details.
If your home has specially wired alarm
equipment connected to the telephone line,
ensure the installation of this surge protector
does not disable your alarm equipment. If
you have questions about what will disable
alarm equipment, consult your telephone
company or a qualified installer.
You must not connect your surge protector
to:
coin-operated systems
most electronic key telephone systems
Your surge protector is not intended to be
used with party-line systems. Connection to
party line service is subject to state tariffs.
Contact the state public utility commission,
public service commission, or corporation
commission for information.
We have designed your surge protector to
conform to federal regulations, and you can
connect it to most telephone lines. However,
each surge protector (and each device,
such as a telephone or answering machine)
that you connect to the telephone line draws
power from the telephone line. We refer to
this power draw as the device's ringer
equivalence number, or REN.
The REN is used to determine the number
of devices that may be connected to a
telephone line. 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. To be certain of the
number of devices that may be connected to
a line, as determined by the total RENs,
contact your local telephone company. For
products approved after July 23, 2001, the
REN for this product is part of the FCC
Product Identification number 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). For
earlier products, the REN is shown
separately on the label.
If you use more than one phone or other
device on the line, add up all of the RENs. If
the total is more than five (three in rural
areas), your telephones might not ring. If
ringer operation is impaired, remove a
device from the line.
Ô NOTE Ô
Do not connect your computer’s AC plug to the
USB CONTROL sockets. The power on and
off for these sockets is controlled by your
computer.
USING THE SAFETY SLIDE
C
OVER
Your surge protector is equipped with
safety slide covers on each of its 11 AC
sockets. Slide the cover up to protect
each unused AC socket.
USING THE INDICATION
T
AGS
Your surge protector comes with pairs
of indication tags to identify which
device’s power cord is connected to
which AC socket. Stick a large color
tag on the power cord at the rear of the
device and the same color small tag
next to the surge protector’s target AC
socket.
