INSTALLATION

We have designed your phone to conform to federal regulations, and you can connect it to most telephone lines. However, each device that you connect to the phone line draws power from the phone line. We refer to this power draw as the device’s ringer equiva- lence number, or REN. The REN is on the bottom of the base.

If you are using more than one phone or oth- er device on the line, add up all the RENs. If the total is more than five (three in rural ar- eas), your phones might not ring. If ringer op- eration is impaired, remove a device from the line.
