FCC and other information
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.
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 by digital
devices.
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.
