Installation

phones cannot be used on telephone company-provided coin
service. Connection to Party Line Service is subject to state tariffs.
Ringer Equivalence Number
The 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 su m of the RENs should
not exceed 5. 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 maximum REN for calling area.

telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary
discontinuance of service may be required. If advance notice isn't
