The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to the 
telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your number is 
called.  
In most, but not all areas, the sum of the REN of all devices connected to one 
line 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, you should contact your local 
telephone company to determine the maximum REN for your calling area. 
If the modem causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company 
may discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in 
advance. 
But if advance notice isnt practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You 
will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC. 
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, 
operations, or procedures that could affect the proper operation of your 
equipment.  
If they do, you will be notified in advance to give you an opportunity to maintain 
uninterrupted telephone service. 
If you experience trouble with this modem, please contact your dealer for 
repair/warranty information. The telephone company may ask you to disconnect
