Connection to party line service is
subject to state tariffs. Contact the state
public utility commission, public service
commission, or corporation
commission for information.
We have designed your system to
conform to federal regulations, and you
can connect it to most telephone lines.
However, each system and device that
you connect to the telephone line draws
power from the telephone line. We refer
to this power draw as the device's
ringer equivalence number, or REN on
the bottom of your system.
If you use more than one phone or
device on the line, add up all of the
RENs. If the total is more than five
(three in rural areas), your phones
might not ring. If ringer operation is
impaired, remove a device from the
line.

party-line systems.
Lightning
Your telephone has
built-in protection
circuits to reduce the
risk of damage from
surges in telephone line
and power line current.
These protection circuits
meet or exceed the FCC
requirements. However,
lightning striking the
telephone or power lines
can damage your
telephone.
Lightning damage is not
common. Nevertheless,
if you live in an area that
has severe electrical
storms, we suggest that
you unplug your phone
when storms approach
to reduce the possibility
of damage.
