The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment, operations or procedures where such action is required in the operation of its business. If these changes are expected to affect the use or performance of your telephone equipment, the telephone company will likely give you adequate notice to allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.

Notice must be given to the telephone company upon termination of your telephone from your line.

REN NUMBER

On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information, the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment.
