ned
y
our telephone to conform to federal
re
g
ulations and
y
ou can connect it to most telephone
lines. However, each device
y
ou connect to the phone
line draws power from it. This power draw is the device’s
ringer equivalence number
, or REN. The REN is shown
on the bottom of
y
our phone.
If
y

g
more than one phone or other device on
the line, add up all the RENs. If the total is more than five
(or three in rural areas)
y
our phones mi

g
er operation is impaired, remove one of the devices
from the line.
If
y
our phone causes problems on the phone line, the

our ri
g
ht to
file a complaint with the FCC.

g

y
steps to pre-
vent interruption of
