Appendix A: Safety, Regulatory, and Legal Information
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is used to determine the number of devices which
may be connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in
the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most 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 the local telephone company.
If this device causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify
you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. The telephone
company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved.
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or
procedures that could affect the operation of this equipment. If this happens, the
telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary
modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.
This equipment cannot be used on telephone company-provided coin service. Connection
to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission or
public service commission for information.
When programming or making test calls to emergency numbers:
■ Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call.
■ Perform such activities in the off-peak hours such as early morning or late evenings.
The United States Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any
person to use a computer or other electronic device to send any message via a telephone
fax machine unless such message clearly contains, in a margin at the top or bottom of each
transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent, an
identification of the business, other entity, or other individual sending the message, and
the telephone number of the sending machine or such business, other entity, or individual.
Refer to your fax communication software documentation for details on how to comply
with the fax-branding requirement.
