216 C H A P T E R T W E N T Y T H R E E The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have those 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 five (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 to determine the maximum REN for your calling area. If your MFC 7150C or MFC 7160C damages the telephone line, the telephone company may discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance. But if advanced notice is not practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will be informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC. Your telephone company may make changes to its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the proper functioning 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 your MFC 7150C or MFC 7160C, please contact a Brother Authorized Service Center for information on obtaining service or repair. The telephone company may ask that you disconnect this equipment from the line until the problem has been corrected or until you are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning. If you are not able to solve a problem with your MFC, contact Brother at USA: 1-800-284-4329 (voice) 1-908-575-8790 (fax) From within Canada: 1-800-853-6660 (voice) 1-514-685-4898 (fax) From within Montreal: 1-514-685-6464 (voice)
