The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you may connect to your
telephone line and still have all of these devices ring when your telephone number is
called. In most (but not all) areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one
line should not exceed 5. 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.
THE MEMORY FEATURE
Store up to 10 numbers in memory for quick dialing.
INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may
cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference,
the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR.
If interference continues, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or
VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.
