Note: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is used to determine how many devices can be connected to your telephone line. In most areas, the sum of the REN's of all devices on any one line should not exceed two (2.0). If too many devices are attached, they many not ring properly. The REN for telephone devices is usually listed on the product label or stamped or moulded into the body of the device.
