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.
REN Number is located on the cabinet bottom.
