Important Information
We have designed your phone to
conform to federal regulations, and you
can connect it to most telephone lines.
However, each phone (and each
device, such as a telephone or
answering machine) 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. The REN
is on the back of your phone.
If you use more than one phone or
other device on the line, add up all of
the RENs. If 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.
In the unlikely event that your phone
causes problems on the phone line, the
phone company can temporarily
discontinue your service. If this
happens, the phone company attempts
to notify you in advance. If advance
notice is not practical, the phone
company notifies you as soon as
possible and advises you of your right
to file a complaint with the FCC.
Also, the phone company can make
changes to its lines, equipment,
operations, or procedures that could
affect the operation of this telephone.
The telephone company notifies you of
these changes in advance, so you can
take the necessary steps to prevent
interruption of your telephone service.
