instructions
FCC and other
information
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 expressl
y
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 digit
a
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provid
e
reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. Thi
s
equipment generates, uses, and can radiat
e
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 i
encouraged to try to correct the interferenc
e
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.
_8_
– 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.
