Important Safety
Instructions
Users should ensure for their own
protection that the electrical
ground connections of the power
utility, telephone lines and internal
metallic water pipe system, if
present, are connected together.
This precaution may be particularly
important in rural areas.
CAUTION: Users should not
attempt to make such connections
themselves, but should contact the
appropriate electric inspection
authority, or electrician, as
appropriate. The Ringer Equivalent
Number is an indication of the
maximum number of terminals
allowed to be connected to a
telephone interface. The
termination on an interface may
consist of any combination of
devices subject only to the
