Ringer Equivalence . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .0.1B
The particular telephone line to which the equipment is connected.
This unit must not be connected to a coin operated line.
If you are on a party line, check with your local telephone company.
Ringer Equivalence No. (REN):
The REN is useful in determining the quantity of devices you may connect to your
telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your telephone number
is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the REN’s of all devices connected
to one line should not exceed five (5.0). 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 to determine the maximum REN for your calling area.
In the event terminal equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the
telephone company should notify the customer, if possible, that service may be
stopped.
However, where prior notice is impractical, the company may temporarily cease
service providing that they:
(a) Promptly notify the customer.
(b) Give the customer an opportunity to correct the problem with their equipment.
(c) Inform the customer of the right to bring a complaint to the Federal
Communication Commission pursuant to procedures set out in FCC Rules
and Regulations Subpart E of Part 68.
The Telephone Company may make changes in its communications facilities,
equipment, operations or procedures, where such action is reasonably required
in the operation of its business and is not inconsistent with the rules and
regulations in FCC Part 68.
If such changes can be reasonably expected to render any customer terminal
equipment incompatible with telephone company communications facilities, or
require modification or alteration of such terminal equipment, or otherwise
materially affect its use or performance, the customer shall be given adequate
notice in writing, to allow the customer an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted
service.
When programming emergency numbers and/or making test calls to emergency
numbers:
1. Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the
call before hanging up.
2. Perform such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early morning hours or
late evenings.
