INSTALLATION
We have designed your TAD to conform to federal regulations and you can connect it to most phone lines. However, each device that you connect to the TAD line draws power from the line. We refer to this power draw as the TAD's ringer equivalence number, or REN. The REN is shown on the bottom of your TAD.
If you use more than one telephone or other device on the line, add up all the RENs. If the total is more than five (three in rural areas), your TAD might not ring. If ringer operation is impaired, remove one of the devices from the line.
FCC STATEMENT
Your TAD complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules. Upon request, you must provide the phone's FCC registration number and REN
to your telephone company. These numbers are on the bottom of the base.
Note: You must not connect your TAD to:
•
•
•most electronic key phone systems
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW
In the unlikely event that your TAD causes problems on the phone line, the phone com- pany can temporarily discontinue your ser- vice. If this happens, the phone company attempts to notify you in advance. If advance notice is not practical, the phone company notifies you as soon as possible and advises you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
Also, the phone company can make changes to its lines, equipment, operations, or proce- dures that could affect the operation of this telephone. The telephone company notifies you of these changes in advance, so you can take the necessary steps to prevent interrup- tion of your telephone service.
LIGHTNING

Lightning damage is not common. Neverthe- less, if you live in an area that has severe electrical storms, we suggest that you unplug your TAD when storms approach to reduce the possibility of damage.
