Telephone Network Information
Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the telephone
network, the telephone company, where practicable, may notify you that
temporary discontinuance of service may be required. Where prior notice is not
practicable and the circumstances warrant such action, the telephone company
may temporarily discontinue service immediately.
The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities,
equipment, operations or procedures where such action is required in the
operation of its business. If these changes are expected to affect the use or
performance of your telephone equipment, the telephone company will likely give
you adequate notice to allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.
Notice must be given to the telephone company upon termination of your
telephone from your line.
REN Number
On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information,
the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment.
The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you may connect to
your telephone line and still have all of these devices ring when your telephone
number is called. In most (but not all) areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices
connected to one line should not exceed 5. To be certain of the number of devices
you may connect to your line as determined by the REN, you should contact your
local telephone company.
