1.REN

The ringer equivalence number (REN) is used to determine the quality 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 ar- eas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). At the base of the telephone is a label contains, among other information, the REN and the FCC certification number. If requested, this information must be given to the telephone company. To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company.

Note: REN is associated with the analog telephones. It is not applicable to Siemens opitiPoint telephone. If requested, please supply the FCC Certification numbers of the front-end host terminal equipment that have a direct Public Switched Telephone Net- work connection (i.e. have a REN stated on the label) and the highest REN.

2.Facility Interface Information

If advance notice is not practical, they will notify you as soon as possible. You are also informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.

4.Telephone Company Facility Changes

The telephone company can make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that can affect the operation of your equipment. If they do, you should be notified in advance so you have an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted telephone ser- vice.

5.Hearing-Aid Compatibility

Telephones for emergency use and telephones installed in common areas such as lob- bies, hospital rooms, elevators, and hotel rooms must have handsets that are compat- ible with magnetically coupled hearing aids. Persons who are not in common areas must also be provided with hearing-aid compatible handsets, if needed.
