Technical Information30Technical InformationThis cordless telephone uses radio frequencies to allow mobility. There are certain difficulties inusing radio frequencies with a cordless telephone. While these are normal, the following could affect the operation of your system.NoiseElectrical pulse noise is present in most homes at one time or another. This noise is most intense during electrical storms. Certain kinds of electrical equipment such as light dimmers, fluorescent bulbs, motors, and fans also generate noise pulses. Because radio frequencies are susceptible to these noise pulses, you may occasionally hear them in your HANDSET. Generally they are aminor annoyance and should not be interpreted as a defect in your system.RangeBecause radio frequency is used, the location of the BASE UNIT can affect the operating range. Try several locations in your home or office and pick the one that gives you the clearest signalto the HANDSET.InterferenceElectronic circuits activate a relay to connect the cordless telephone to your telephone line.These electronic circuits operate in the radio frequency spectrum. While several protection circuits are used to prevent unwanted signals, there may be periods when these unwanted signals enter the BASE UNIT. You may hear clicks or hear the relay activate while you are notusing the HANDSET. If the interference occurs frequently, it can be minimized or eliminated byrelocating the BASE UNIT. You can check for interference before selecting the final BASE UNITlocation by plugging in the telephone.NOTICE:This cordless telephone uses radio communication between the HANDSET and the BASE UNITand may not ensure privacy of communication. Other devices, including other cordless telephones, may interfere with the operation of this cordless telephone or cause noise duringoperation. Units not containing coded access may be accessed by other radio communication systems. Cordless telephones must not cause interference to any licensed radio service.manual 5815 analog.qxd 3/16/2004 2:40 PM Page 37
FCC Req31IMPORTANTPlacing your BASE UNIT near appliancessuch as televisions, refrigerators, radios, ormicrowave ovens may cause interference.Federal Communications Commission RequirementsThis equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. A label on the BASE UNIT of this equipment contains, among other information, the ACTA Product Number and the RingerEquivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone company.The REN is also useful in determining the quantity of devices that you may connect toyour telephone line and still allow these devices to ring when your telephone number is called.In most areas, but not all, the sum of the RENs for all devices connected to one line should notexceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that you may connect to your line, you should contact your local telephone company.If your equipment should cause harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may temporarily disconnect your service. If possible, they will notify you in advance that temporarydiscontinuance of service may be required.

Do not attempt to repair or modify this equipment. WARNING: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for its compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVsand VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, the BASE UNIT of the cordless telephoneshould not be placed on or near a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.FCC Requirements manual 5815 analog.qxd 3/16/2004 2:40 PM Page 38
FCC RequirementsFederal Communications Commission Requirements (continued)This equipment should not be used on coin telephone lines. Connection to party line service issubject to state tariffs.
