The REN is used to determine the number of devices that you may connect to your telephone line
and still have all of those devices ring when your number is called. Too many devices on one line
may result in failure to ring in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all, areas the sum of the
RENs of all of the devices should not exceed five (5). To be certain of the number of devices you
may connect to your line, as determined by the RENs, contact your local telephone company.
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, your telephone company may discontinue
