This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC
rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA.
On the rear of this equipment is a label that
contains, among other information, a product
identifier in the format US:ACJ----------.
If requested, this number must be provided to the
telephone company.
• Registration No .....(found on the rear of the unit)
• Ringer Equivalence No. (REN)
...............................(found on the rear of the unit)
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 is provided with
this product. It is designed to be connected to a
compatible modular jack that is also compliant.
The REN is used to determine the number of
devices that may be connected 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).
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone
network, the telephone company will notify you in
advance that temporary discontinuance 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.
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.
If trouble is experienced with this equipment, for
repair or warranty information, please contact a
Factory Servicenter or other Authorized Servicer. If
the equipment is causing harm to the telephone
network, the telephone company may request that
you disconnect the equipment until the problem is
resolved.
Connection to party line service is subject to state
tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission,
public service commission or corporation
commission for information.
This equipment is hearing aid compatible as
defined by the FCC in 47 CFR Section 68.316.
When you hold the phone to your ear, noise might
be heard in your Hearing Aid. Some Hearing Aids
are not adequately shielded from external RF
(radio frequency) energy. If noise occurs, use an
optional headset accessory or the speakerphone
option (if applicable) when using this phone.
Consult with your audiologist or Hearing Aid
manufacturer about the availability of Hearing Aids
which provide adequate shielding to RF energy
commonly emitted digital devices.
If your home has specially wired alarm equipment
connected to the telephone line, ensure the
installation of this 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.
WHEN PROGRAMMING EMERGENCY
NUMBERS AND(OR) MAKING TEST CALLS TO
EMERGENCY NUMBERS:
1) Remain on the line and briefly explain to the
dispatcher the reason for the call.
2) Perform such activities in the off-peak hours,
such as early morning or late evenings.
The software contained in this equipment to allow
user access to the network must be upgraded to
recognize newly established network area codes
and exchange codes as they are placed into
service. Failure to upgrade the premises systems
or peripheral equipment to recognize the new
codes as they are established will restrict the
customer and the customer’s employees from
gaining access to the network and to these codes.
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
interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
Privacy of communications may not be ensured
when using this phone.

CAUTION:
Any changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate this
device.
NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a
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
particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
— Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
— Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
— Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
— Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies
that may cause interference to nearby TVs and
VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference,
the base of the cordless telephone should not be
placed near or on top of a TV or VCR. If
interference is experienced, move the cordless
telephone further away from the TV or VCR. This
will often reduce, or eliminate, interference.
FCC RF Exposure Warning:
This product complies with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. To comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements the base unit must be installed and
operated with its antenna located 20 cm or more
between antenna and all person’s body
(excluding extremities of hands, wrist and feet).
The handset unit may be carried and operated
with only the specific provided belt-clip. Other
non-tested belt-clips or similar body-worn
accessories may not comply and must be
avoided. The base and handset units must not be
co-located or operated in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.
