the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient the radio/television receiver’s antenna, relocate the
equipment with respect to the receiver, plug the equipment and

to consult a qualied radio/television technician for additional
suggestions. This equipment has been fully tested and

Telephone Network Information
Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may
harm the telephone network, the telephone company, where
practicable, may notify you that temporary discontinuance of
service may be required. Where prior notice is not practicable
and the 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.

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.
