The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is an indication of the maximum number of devices allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination of an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject. only to the requirement that the sum of the RENs of all the devices not exceed five.

Ce produit est conforme à l'application de l'Innovation,de la Science et le développement economique de Canada. L'indice d'équivalence de la sonnerie (IES) sert à indiquer le nombre maximal de terminaux qui peuvent être raccordés à une interface téléphonique. La terminaison d'une interface peut consister en une combinaison quelconque de dispositifs, à la seule condition que la somme d'indices d'équivalence de la sonnerie de tous les dispositifs n' excède pas cinq.

The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.

NOTICE: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each relevant terminal device provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the RENs of all the devices does not exceed 5.

The FCC number is formatted as US:AAAEQ#TXXX.

# is the Ringer Equivalence Number without a decimal point (e.g. REN of 1.0 will be shown as 10, REN of 0.3 will be shown as 03). In the case of a Z ringer, ZZ shall appear. In the case of approved equipment without a network interface or equipment not to be connected to circuits with analog ringing supplied, NA shall appear.

The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices that may be connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of RENs of all devices that may be connected to a line, is determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company.

Canadian Certification Requirements for Bilingual Safety, Warning and Caution Markings

Canadian Federal and Provincial/Territorial statutes and regulations, such as the Consumer Packaging and Labeling Regulation, require the use of bilingual product markings for products sold in Canada and in the province of Quebec, additionally regulated under “The Charter of the French Language.” The bilingual requirements include the safety, warning and caution markings as defined by the Standard or ORD.
