READ THIS FIRST
We have designed your answering
system to conform to federal regula-
tions, and you can connect it to most
telephone lines. However, each de-
vice you connect to the phone line
draws power from the phone line. We
refer to this power draw as the de-
vice’s
Ringer Equivalence Number
, or
REN. The REN is on the bottom of
your answering system.
If you are using more than one device
on the line, add up all the RENs. If the
total is more than five, your phones
might not ring and your answering
system might not answer. In rural ar-
eas, a total REN of three might impair
ringer operation. If ringer operation is
impaired, remove a device from the
telephone line.
FCC STATEMENT
Your answering system complies with
Part 68 of
FCC Rules
. You must, upon
request, provide the FCC registration
number and the REN to your phone
company. Both numbers are on the
bottom of your answering system.

swering system to:
