READ THIS BEFORE 
INSTALLATION

We have designed your ET-294 to con-
form to federal regulations, and you can
connect it to most telephone lines. How-
ever, each device, such as a telephone
or answering machine, that you connect
to the telephone line, draws power from
the line. We refer to this power draw as
the device’s 

ringer equivalency number

,

or REN. The REN is on the bottom of
your telephone’s base.

If you use more than one telephone or
other device on the line, add up all of the
RENs. If the total is more than five, your
telephones might not ring. In rural areas,
a total REN of three might impair ringer
operation. If ringer operation is impaired,
remove a device from the line.

FCC Rules. You must, upon request,

• Most electronic key phone systems
