The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is used to determine the number of
devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a
telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an
incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed
five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a
line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local Telephone Company.
The REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a
decimal point. For example, 03 represents a REN of 0.3.
If the modem causes harm to the telephone network, the Telephone Company
will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be
required. But if advance notice is not practical, the Telephone Company will
notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your
right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.
The Telephone Company may make changes in its facilities, equipment,
operations or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If
this happens, the Telephone Company will provide advance notice in order for
you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service. If
trouble is experienced with the modem, refer to the repair and warranty
information in this document.
If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the Telephone
