including the following:
1. Read and understand all instructions.
2. Follow all warnings and instruc-
tions marked on the telephone.
3. Do not use this telephone near
a bath tub, wash basin, kitchen
sink or laundry tub, in a wet
basement, near a swimming pool
or anywhere else there is water.
4. Avoid using a telephone (other
than a cordless type) during a
storm. There may be a remote risk
of electrical shock from lightning.
5. Do not use the telephone to report
a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
6. Unplug this telephone from the wall
outlets before cleaning. Do not use
liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners
on the telephone. Use a damp cloth
for cleaning.
7. Place this telephone on a stable
surface. Serious damage and/or injury
may result if the telephone falls.
8. Do not cover the slots and open-
ings on this telephone. This telephone
should never be placed near or over
a radiator or heat register. This tele-
phone should not be placed in a
built-in installation unless proper
ventilation is provided.
9. Operate this telephone using the
electrical voltage as stated on
the base unit or in the owner’s
manual. If you are not sure of the
voltage in your home, consult your
dealer or local power company.
10. Do not place anything on the
power cord. Install the telephone
where no one will step or trip on
the cord.
11. Do not overload wall outlets or
extension cords as this can increase
the risk of fire or electrical shock.
12. Never push any objects through
the slots in the telephone. They can
touch dangerous voltage points or
short out parts that could result in
a risk of fire or electrical shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on

local codes for possible special
disposal instructions.
20. Plug the AC adaptor into the outlet
that is nearest and most accessible
to the telephone.
Exposure to high volume sound levels
may damage your hearing. Although
there is no single volume setting that is
appropriate for everyone, you should
always use the handset with the volume
set at moderate levels and avoid pro-
longed exposure to high volume sound
levels. The louder the volume,
the less time is required before your
hearing could be affected. If you experi-
ence hearing discomfort, you should
stop using the handset. To protect your
hearing, some hearing experts suggest
that you:
1. Set the volume control in a low
position and then adjust the volume
to a comfortable level.
2. Limit the amount of time you use
the handset at high volume.
3. Avoid turning up the volume to
block out noisy surroundings.
CHILDREN: Never allow children to
play with the product – small parts may
be a choking hazard and the amplified
volume may cause hearing damage.

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
Part 68 of FCC Rules
Information
a) This equipment complies with Part
68 of the FCC rules and the require-
ments adopted by the ACTA. On the
bottom of this equipment is a label
that contains, among other information,
a product identifier in the format
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested,
this number must be provided to the
telephone company.
b) A plug and jack used to connect this
equipment to the premises wiring and
telephone network must comply with
the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and
requirements adopted by the ACTA. A
compliant telephone cord and modular
plug, RJ11C USOC, is provided with this
product. It is designed to be connected
to a compatible modular jack that is
also compliant. See installation instruc-
tions for details.
c) The REN is used to determine the
number of devices that may be con-
nected to a telephone line. Excessive
RENs on a 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 should not exceed five
(5.0). To be certain of the number of
devices that may be connected to a
line, as determined by the total RENs,
contact the local telephone company.
For products approved after July 23,
2001, the REN for this product is part
of the product identifier that has the
format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX.
The digits represented by ## are the
REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is
a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the
REN is separately shown on the label.
d) If this telephone equipment causes
harm to the telephone network, the
telephone company will notify you in
advance that temporary discontinu-
ance of service may be required. But
if advance notice isn’t practical, the
telephone company will notify the
customer as soon as possible. Also,
you will be advised of your right to
file a complaint with the FCC if you
believe it is necessary.
e) 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 advance notice in order for
you to make necessary modifications to
maintain uninterrupted service.
f) If trouble is experienced with this
telephone equipment, for repair or
warranty information, please contact
Clarity, 1-800-552-3368. If the equip-
ment is causing harm to the telephone
network, the telephone company may
request that you disconnect the equip-
ment until the problem is resolved.
g) This telephone equipment is not
intended to be repaired and it contains
no repairable parts. Opening the equip-
ment or any attempt to perform repairs
will void the warranty. For service or
repairs, call 1-800-552-3368.
h) Connection to party line service is
subject to state tariffs. Contact the state
public utility commission, public service
34
commission or corporation commission
for information.
i) If your home has specially wired alarm
equipment connected to the telephone
line, ensure the installation of this tele-
phone equipment does not disable your
alarm equipment. If you have questions
about what will disable alarm equipment,
consult your telephone company or a
qualified installer.
j) This telephone equipment is hearing
aid compatible.
Customer-Owned Coin/Credit
Card Phones:
To comply with state tariffs, the tele-
phone company must be given notifica-
tion prior to connection. In some states,
the state public utility commission, pub-
lic service commission or corporation
commission must give prior approval
of connection.
Part 15 of FCC Rules
Information
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device
may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interfer-
ence received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
Your equipment has been tested and
found to comply with the limits of
a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of FCC rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protec-
tion against harmful interference in
residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a par-
ticular installation; if this equipment
does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, you are encour-
aged to try to correct the interference
by one of the following measures:
1. Where it can be done safely,
reorient the receiving television
or radio antenna.
2. To the extent possible, relocate
the television, radio or other
receiver with respect to the
telephone equipment. (This
increases the separation between
the telephone equipment and
the receiver.)
3. Connect the telephone equip-
ment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which
the television, radio, or other
receiver is connected.
4. Consult the dealer or an
experienced Radio/TV Technician
for help.
CAUTION: Changes or modifi-
cations to this equipment not
expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could
void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.

Industry Canada Technical
Specifications
This product meets the
applicable Industry Canada
technical specifications.
Before installing this equipment, users
should ensure that it is permissible to
be connected to the facilities of the
local telecommunications company. The
equipment must also be installed using
an acceptable method of connection.
In some cases, the company’s inside
wiring associated with a single line
individual service may be extended

assembly (telephone extension cord).
The customer should be aware that
compliance with the above conditions
may not prevent degradation of service
in some situations. Repairs to certi-
fied equipment should be made by an
authorized Canadian maintenance
facility designated by the supplier.
Any repairs or alterations made by the
user to this equipment, or equipment
malfunctions, may give the telecommu-
nications company cause to request the
user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own
protection that the electrical ground
connections of the power utility, tele-
phone lines and internal metallic water
pipe system, if present, are connected
together. This precaution may be par-
ticularly important in rural areas.
CAUTION: Users should not
attempt to make such connections
themselves, but should contact the
appropriate electrical inspection
authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
The Ringer Equivalence Number is 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
Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the
devices does not exceed five.
(The term “IC:” before the certification/
registration number only signifies that
the Industry Canada technical specifica-
tions were met.)
This Class B digital apparatus complies
with Canadian ICES-003.
