We have designed your Digital Answering System to conform to
federal regulations, and you can connect it to most telephone
lines. However, each device that you connect to the telephone
line draws power from the telephone line. We refer to this power
draw as the device's ringer equivalence number, or REN. The
REN is on the bottom of your system.
If you use more than one phone or other device on the line, add
up all of the RENs. If the total is more than five (three in rural areas), your telephones might not ring and your system might not
answer. If ringer operation is impaired, remove a device from
the line.
FCC STATEMENT

upon request, provide the FCC registration number and the
REN to your telephone company. Both numbers are on the bottom of the system.
Note:
You must not connect your system to:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key telephone systems
