Telephone Company and F.C.C. Requirements and Responsibility
1.
Notification to the Telephone Company
Customers, before connecting terminal equipment to the telephone network, shall upon
request of the Telephone Company, inform the Telephone Company of the particular line(s)
to which such connection is made, the F.C.C. registration number (see the label on the
bottom of the unit) and ringer equivalence number (REN) of the registered terminal
equipment.
The REN is useful in determining the quantity of devices you may connect to your
telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your telephone number is called.
In most, but not all areas, the sum of the REN's of all devices connected to one line should
not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line,
as determined by the REN, you should contact your local telephone company to determine
the maximum REN for your calling area.

Connection to Telephone Line
This unit must not be connected to a coin operated line. If you are on a party line, check
with your local telephone company.

shall, where practical, notify the customer that temporary discontinuance of service may be
required. However, where prior notice is not practical, the telephone company may
temporarily discontinue service forthwith, if such action is reasonable in the circumstances.
