Ring equivalence number (REN) 

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. 
Excessive REN’s on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an 
incoming call. In most, but not all 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 your local telephone company. The REN for this product is 0.1B and is also identified as 
part of the FCC product identifier

 

shown on the label on the back of your FA-700.

If this FA-700 causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you 
in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice 
isn’t practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you 
will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary. 

 

The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or 
procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens, the telephone 
company will provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to 
maintain uninterrupted service. If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, 
the telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem is 
resolved.
