■ Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). The REN is used to determine the
number of devices that may be connected to the telephone line. Excessive
RENs on the 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 local
telephone company to determine the maximum REN for the calling area.
■ Disconnection. You must also notify your local telephone company if and
when this equipment is permanently disconnected from the line(s).
