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.
WHEN PROGRAMMING
EMERGENCY NUMBERS AND(OR)
MAKING TEST CALLS TO
EMERGENCY NUMBERS:

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
