Caller ID number auto edit
feature
Once you call back an edited number,
the handset which was used to call back
remembers the area code and format of
the edited number. The next time
someone calls from the same area
code, caller information is customized by
the handset as follows:
– When the call is being received, the
Caller ID number is displayed in the
same format as the edited number.
– After the call has ended, the caller’s
phone number is displayed in the
same format as the edited number,
when reviewed from the caller list.
For example, you can use this feature to
set the handset to ignore the area code
of callers in your area, so that you can
call these local numbers using caller
information without dialing the area code.
To activate this feature, you must edit an
entry in the caller list, then call that

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.
R Registration No....(found on the bottom of the
unit)
R 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 the 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 the 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 Service Center 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.

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.
54
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.

R This product complies with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment.
R To comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, the base unit must be installed
and operated 20 cm (8 inches) or more

operated in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
R The handset 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.
