We have designed your TAD-277 to
conform to federal regulations, and
you can connect it to most telephone
lines. However, each device you con-
nect to the phone line draws power
from the phone line. We refer to this
power draw as the device’s 

Ringer

Equivalence Number

, or REN. The

REN is on the bottom of your TAD-
277.

If you are using more than one device
on the line, add up all the RENs. If the
total is more than five, your phones
might not ring and your TAD-277
might not answer. In rural areas, a to-
tal REN of three might impair ringer
operation. If ringer operation is im-
paired, remove a device from the tele-
phone line.
