FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW
This equipment compiles with Part 68
of the FCC rules and ACTA technical
requirements. On the bottom of the
base of this equipment is a label that
contains, among other information,
the FCC Registration Number, Ringer
Equivalence Number (REN) and the
Universal Service Order Code
(USOC), which is RJ-11C, for this
equipment. You must, upon request,
provide this information to your
telephone company.
An FCC compliant telephone cord
and modular plug is provided with this
equipment. This equipment is
designed to be connected to the
telephone network or premises wiring
using a compatible modular jack
which is TIA/EIA-IS-968 compliant.
See Installation Instructions for details.
The REN is useful to determine the
quantity of devices you may connect
to your telephone line and still have
all of those devices ring when your
telephone number is called. In most,
but not all areas, the sum of the
REN’s of all devices connected to
one line should not exceed five (5.0).
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 telephone equipment causes
harm to the telephone network, the
telephone company may discontinue
your service temporarily. If possible,
they will notify you in advance. But if
advance notice isn’t 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 in 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 this telephone
equipment, disconnect from the
network until the problem has been
corrected or until you are sure that
the equipment is not malfunctioning.
This equipment may not be used on
coin service provided by the
telephone company. Connection to
party lines is subject to state tariffs.
This equipment is hearing aid
compatible.

OPERATIONS
40-Channel Operation
The GH3000 cordless telephone
automatically searches and selects the
clearest of 40 channels when it is being

the handset will automatically select the
code from a total of over 65,000

time the handset is placed in the cradle.
If you experience difficulty with placing or
receiving calls, a lost security code may be
the cause of the problem. When this
occurs, the handset can no longer
communicate with the base. Reset by
placing handset on base for 5-10 seconds.
