READ THIS FIRST
We have designed your telephone to conform to federal
regulations and you can connect it to most telephone
lines. However, each device you connect to the phone
line draws power from it. This power draw is the device’s
ringer equivalence number
on the bottom of your phon e.
If you are using more than one phone or other device on
the line, add up all the RENs. If the total is more than f ive
(or three in rural areas) your phones might not ring. If
ringer operation is impaired, remove one of the devices
from the line.
If your phone causes problems on the phone line, the
telephone company can disconnect your service. The
phone company tries to notify you i n advance . If advanc e
notice is not practical, the telephone company notifies
you as soon as possible and advises you of your right to
file a com p laint with the FCC
The phone company can also make changes to its lines,
equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect
the phone’s operation. The phone company notifies you
in advance, so you can take the necessary steps to prevent interruption of your phone service.
