The REN is useful to determine the number of devices you may connect to your 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 the RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line, as determined by the REN, contact your local telephone company.
For products approved after July 23, 2001, 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 the decimal point (for example, 03 represents a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.
