contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence
number (REN) for this equipment. The label is located on the bottom of the

2. Page A of this manual contains the Universal Service Order Codes (USOC) associated with

details.
4. The ringer equivalence (REN) is used to determine the quantity of devices which may be
connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the

believe it is necessary.
