This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements
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:ACJ-----.
If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company.
Registration No. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .(found on the bottom of the unit)
Ringer Equivalence No. (REN) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .0.1B
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.
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.
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.
Operating near 2.4GHz electrical appliances may cause interference. Move
away from the electrical appliances.

FCC RF Exposure Warning:
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.
This equipment is hearing aid compatible as defined by the FCC in 47 CFR
Section 68.316.
A TIA/EIA-IS-968 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 that is also
TIA/EIA-IS-968 compliant.
The software contained in this equipment to allow user access to the network
must be ungraded 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.
≥Environment — do not place the unit in a room where the temperature is less
than 5°C (41°F) or greater than 40°C (104°F). Allow 10 cm (4") clearance
around the unit for proper ventilation. Avoid excessive smoke, dust,
mechanical vibration, shock, or direct sunlight.
≥Medical — consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as
pacemakers or hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded from
external RF (radio frequency) energy. (The unit operates in the frequency
range of 2400MHz to 2481MHz, and the power output level can range 0.04 to
0.25 watts.) Do not use the unit in health care facilities if any regulations
posted in the area instruct you not to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities
may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF (radio
frequency) energy.
≥Routine care — wipe the unit with a soft cloth. Do not use benzine, thinner, or
any abrasive powder. When you leave the unit unused for a long period of
time, unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet.
≥If there is any trouble — disconnect the unit from the telephone line and
connect a known working phone. If the known working phone operates
properly, have your unit repaired by one of the authorized Panasonic Factory
Service Centers. If the known working phone does not operate properly,
consult your telephone company.
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 your
audiologist or Hearing Aid manufacturer about the availability of Hearing Aids
which provide adequate shielding to RF energy commonly emitted by digital
devices.
