Check the connection if you are diverting the room monitor to an outside number. – When the function is switched on the hand-set's operating time is severely reduced. If necessary, place the handset in the base. This ensures that the batteries do not run down.– Ideally the handset should be positioned 1 to 2 meters away from the sound being monitored. The microphone must be directed towards the monitored sound. – The connection to which the room monitor is diverted must not be blocked by an acti-vated answer machine.

42AppendixV300AM / USA EN / A31008-xxxxx-xxxx-x-6019 / appendix.fm / 3.1.08consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.This telephone system equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class B digital device, pursuant to 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 interference received, including interference that may cause undesired opera-tion. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interfer-ence in a residential installation. Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TV’s and VCR’s; to minimize or prevent such interference, the system base should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR; and, if interference is expe-rienced, moving the base farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference. However, there is no guarantee that interfer-ence will not occur in a particular installation. If this telephone system does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the system off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.2. Increase the separation between the base station and receiver.3. Connect the base station into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV technician for help.Notice for Direct Inward Dialing ("DID")ALLOWING THIS EQUIPMENT TO BE OPERATED IN SUCH A MANNER AS TO NOT PROVIDE FOR PROPER ANSWER SUPERVISION AS A VIOLATION OF PART 68 OF THE FCC‘S RULES.Notice to Hearing Aid Wearers: This phone system is compatible with induc-tively coupled hearing aids.Power Outage: In the event of a power outage, your cordless telephone will not operate. The cordless tele-phone requires electricity for operation. You should have a telephone that does not require electricity available for use during power out-ages.Notice: The installation of the base unit should allow at least 8 inches between the base and persons to be in compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.For body worn operation, the portable part (handset) has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines. Use with an accessory that contains metal parts may not ensure com-pliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.Notice to telephone company service:If you need service from your telephone com-pany, please provide them with the informa-tion– Facility interface Code (FIC)– Service Order Code (SOC)– Universal Service Order Code (USOC) Jackas indicated on the label on the bottom side of the base station.Industry Canada CertificationOperation is subject to the folowing two condi-tions (1) this device may not cause interfer-ence, and (2) this device must accept any inter-ference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.NOTICE: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommu-nications network, protective, operational and safety requirements as prescribed in the appro-priate Terminal Equipment Technical Require-ments document(s). The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.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 con-nection.
