. You must, upon request,
provide the FCC registra tion number and the

We have designed your surge protector to
conform to federal regulat ions, and you can
connect it to most t elephone lines. H owever,
each surge protector 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.
If you use more than one phone or other
device on the line, ad d up all of th e RE Ns. I f
the total is more than five (three in rural
areas), your telephones might not ring. If
ringer operation is impaired, remove a
device from the line.
