The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is used to determine the number of devices which 
may be connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in 
the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most areas, the sum of RENs 
should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected 
to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company.
If this device causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify 
you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. The telephone 
company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved.
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or 
procedures that could affect the operation of this equipment. If this happens, the 
telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary 
modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.
This equipment cannot be used on telephone company-provided coin service. Connection 
to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission or 
public service commission for information.
When programming or making test calls to emergency numbers:
■Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call.
■Perform such activities in the off-peak hours such as early morning or late evenings.
