circumstances warrant such action, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue
service immediately.
The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment,
operations or procedures where such action is required in the operation of its business.
If these changes are expected to affect the use or performance of your telephone
equipment, the telephone company will likely give you adequate notice to allow you to
maintain uninterrupted service.
Notice must be given to the telephone company upon termination of your telephone from
your line.
REN Number
On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information, the

telephone line and still have all of these devices ring when your telephone number is
called. In most (but not all) areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line
should not exceed 5. 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.
REN Number is located on the cabinet bottom.
