technician for help.
FCC RF exposure warning
To insure the safety of users, the FCC has established
criteria for the amount of radio frequency energy
various products may produce depending on their
intended usage. This product has been tested and
found to comply with the FCC’s exposure criteria. For
body worn operation, the FCC RF exposure guidelines
were also met when used with the accessories sup-
plied or designed for this product. Use of other acces-
sories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF expo-
sure guidelines and should be avoided.
Caution: To maintain compliance with the FCC’s RF
exposure guidelines, the internal antennas used for
this mobile transmitter (Base unit) must provide a
separation distance of at least 20 cm from all per-
sons. Base and Handset must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
Caution: Any changes or modifications not express-
ly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate this de-
vice.
Rights of the telephone company
Should your equipment cause trouble on your line
which may harm the telephone network, the tele-
phone company shall, where practicable, notify you
that temporary discontinuance of service may be
required. Where prior notice is not practical and the
circumstances warrant such action, the telephone
company may temporarily disconnect service imme-
diately. In case of such temporary discontinuance, the
telephone company must:
1. Promptly notify you of such temporary discon-
tinuance;
2. Afford you the opportunity to correct the situa-
tion;
3. Inform you of your right to bring a complaint to the
Commission pursuant to procedures set forth in
Subpart E of Part 68, FCC Rules and Regula-
tions.
The telephone company may make changes in its
facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that
could affect the operation of the equipment. If this
happens, the telephone company will provide ad-
vance notice in order for you to make necessary
modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.
Product identifier and REN information
The label on the back or bottom of this equipment
contains, among other things, an identifier indicating
product approval and the Ringer Equivalence Number
(REN). This information must be provided to your lo-
cal telephone company upon request. For equipment
approved after July 23, 2001, the product identifier
is preceded by “US” and a colon (:), and the REN is
encoded in the product identifier without a decimal
point as the sixth and seventh characters following
the colon. For example, the product identifier US:
AAAEQ03T123XYZ would indicate an REN of 0.3.
The REN is used to determine how many devices you
may connect to your telephone line and still have them
ring when you are called. In most, but not all areas,
the sum of all RENs should be five (5.0) or less.
Other notes
• This equipment may not be used on coin service
provided by the telephone company.
• Connection to party line service is subject to state
tariffs. Contact the state public utility commis-
sion, public service commission or corporation
commission for information.
• If your home has specially wired alarm equipment
connected to the telephone line, ensure the instal
-
lation of this cordless phone does not disable your
alarm equipment. If you have questions about
what will disable alarm equipment, consult your
telephone company or a qualified installer.
• Notice must be given to the telephone company
upon permanent disconnection of your telephone
from your line.
Hearing aid compatibility
This equipment is hearing aid compatible as defined
by the FCC in 47 CFR Section 68.316.
Health and safety information FCC
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and re-
ceiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed
the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency
(RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Com-
mission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part
of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted
levels of RF energy for the general population. The
guidelines are based on the safety standards pre-
viously set by both U.S. and international standards
bodies:
This EUT has been shown to be capable of compliance
for localized specific absorption rate (SAR) for uncon-
trolled environment/general population exposure
limits specified in ANSI/IEEE Std. C95.1-1992 and
had been tested in accordance with the measurement
procedures specified in FCC/OET Bulletin 65 Supple-
ment C (2001) and IEEE Std. 1528-2003 December
2003).
The standards include a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regard-
less of age and health. The exposure standard for
wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measure-
ment known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit set by the FCC and Canada is 1.6W/kg
averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard in-
corporates a substantial margin of safety to give ad-
ditional protection for the public and to account for
any variations in.
RF exposure FCC
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions specified by the FCC with the phone trans-
mitting at its highest certified power level in all
tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is deter-
mined at the highest certified power level, the actual
SAR level of the phone while operation can be well
below the maximum value. This is because the phone
is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as
to use only the power required to reach the network.
In general, the closer you are to a wireless base sta-
tion antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the pub-
lic, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it
does not exceed the limit established by the govern-
ment-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The
tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g.,
at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the
FCC for each model. (Body-worn measurements may
differ among phone models, depending upon avail-
able accessories and FCC requirements. Body worn
measurements differ among phones depending upon
available accessories and the FCC requirements.)
While there may be differences between the SAR
levels of various phones and at various positions, they
all meet the government requirement for safe expo-
sure.
For body worn operation, to maintain compliance with
FCC RF exposure guidelines, use only accessories
that contain no metallic components and provide a
separation distance of 15mm (0.6 inches) to the body.
Use of other accessories may violate FCC RF expo-
sure guidelines and should be avoided.
Cordless telephone privacy
Cordless telephones are radio devices. Communica-
tions between the handset and base of your cordless
telephone are accomplished by means of radio waves
which are broadcast over the open airways. Because
of the inherent physical properties of radio waves,
your communications can be received by radio recei-
ving devices other than your own cordless telephone
unit. Consequently, any communications using your
cordless telephone may not be private.
Programming and testing
of emergency numbers
If this product has memory dialing locations, you may
choose to store police, fire department and emergency
medical service telephone numbers in these locations.
If you do, please keep three things in mind:
1. It is recommend that you also write the telephone
number on the directory card, so that you can still
dial the emergency number manually if the mem-
ory dialing feature doesn’t work.
2. This feature is provided only as a convenience,
and the manufacturer assumes no responsibility
for customer reliance upon the memory feature.
3. Testing the emergency telephone numbers you
have stored is not recommended. However, if you
do make a call to an emergency number:
• You must remain on the line and briefly explain the
reason for the call before hanging up.
• Programming/testing of emergency numbers
should be performed during off-peak hours, such
as in the early morning or late evening, when the
emergency services tend to be less busy.
Emergency calling service (i.e., 911, 112, 999, etc.)
with VoIP typically functions the same as that of tradi-
tional phone service companies. However, you are
strongly advised to consult your VoIP provider to ensure
that emergency service via VoIP is available in your
area. In addition, you will likely be asked to register
your physical address with your VoIP service provider
to ensure that an emergency response team is able to
locate the origin of the emergency call. Also note that
it may take several days for the registration of your
address to take effect.
In order to better ensure your safety, please be aware
of certain circumstances in which emergency calling
service may be either unavailable or limited in com-
parison to traditional emergency calling services.
During an electrical power outage, an internet service
outage, or a service disruption due to non-payment,
your emergency calling service may not function
properly.
If at any point in time your broadband phone or adap-
ter fails, emergency calling service may not function
properly.
The relocation of your DUALphone Gateway to a
physical address other than that provided upon
signup, or the use of a number outside of your normal
area code or exchange may cause incorrect emer-
gency calling information to be provided to your local
emergency response center.
Please contact your VoIP service provider for more
information.
Your DUALphone can also be configured to auto-
matically switch over to landline calling in the event
that an emergency number (i.e., 911, 112, 999, etc.)
is dialed. However, you must have an active landline
account, and the landline must be plugged into the
“Line” port on the back of the DUALphone Gateway.
See the User Manual for details on this configura-
tion.
