ringing in response to an incoming call. Typically the sum of REN's 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 REN's) contact the local telephone company.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be con-
nected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must
also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. The customer should be
aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of ser-
vice in some situations. Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a
