The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive
RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but
not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed ve (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that
may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the telephone provider. For products
approved after July 23,2001, the REN for this product is part of the product identier that has the format
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of
0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance
that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn’t practical, the telephone
company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to le a complaint
with the FCC if you believe it is necessary. The telephone company may make changes in its facilities,
equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens the
telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary modications to maintain
uninterrupted service.
Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission, public
service commission or corporation commission for information.
