NFORMATION
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 termina-
tion of your telephone from your line.
REN N
UMBER
On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among
other information, the FCC Registration number and Ringer
Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment. You must, upon
request, provide this information to your telephone company.
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.
