The 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 devices not
ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs
should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be
connected to the line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the telephone company
to determine the maximum REN for the calling area.
This equipment uses the following USOC jack: RJC. An FCC-compliant telephone cord
