Ringer Equivalence Number (REN):
This REN is useful in determining the quantity of 
devices you may connect to your telephone line 
and still have, all of those devices ring when your 
telephone number is called. In most but not all 
areas, the sum of the REN’s of all devices 
connected to one line should not exceed five (5.0). 
To be certain of the number of devices you may 
connect to your line, as determined by the REN, 
you should contact your local telephone company
to determine the maximum REN for your calling
area.
In the event that terminal equipment causes harm
to the telephone network, the telephone company 
should notify the customer, if possible, that service 
may be stopped. However, where prior notice is 
impractical, the company may temporarily cease 
service providing that they:
a) Promptly notify the customer.
b) Give the customer an opportunity to correct the 
problem with their equipment.
c) Inform the customer of the right to bring a
complaint to the Federal Communication 
Commission pursuant to procedures set out in 
FCC Rules and Regulations Subpart E of Part

NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, 
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits 
are designed to provide reasonable protection 
against harmful interference when the equipment is 
operated in a commercial environment. This 
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio 
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in 
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause 
harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is
likely to cause harmful interference in which case
the user will be required to correct the interference
at his own expense.
The Telephone Company may make changes in
its communications facilities, equipment
operations, or procedures where such action is
reasonably required in the operation of its
business and is not inconsistent with the rules and
regulations in FCC Part 68. If such changes can 
be reasonably expected to render any customer 
terminal equipment incompatible with telephone
company communications facilities, or require
modification or alteration of such terminal 
equipment, or otherwise materially affect its use or 
performance, the customer shall be given 
adequate notice in writing, to allow the customer 
an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service.
