EQUIPMENT APPROVAL INFORMATION
Your telephone equipment is approved for connection to the Public Switched
Telephone Network and is in compliance with parts 15 and 68, FCC Rules and
Regulations and the Technical Requirements for Telephone Terminal
Equipment published by ACTA.
1Notification to the Local Telephone Company
On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other
information, the US number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the
equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your
telephone company.
The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you may connect
to your telephone line and still have all of these devices ring when your
telephone number is called. In most (but not all) areas, the sum of the
RENs of all devices connected to one line should not exceed 5. To be certain
of the number of devices you may connect to your line as determined by
the REN, you should contact your local telephone company.
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. See installation
instructions for details.
Notes
This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the
telephone company.
•Party lines are subject to state tariffs, and therefore, you may not be able
to use your own telephone equipment if you are on a party line. Check
with your local telephone company.
Notice must be given to the telephone company upon permanent
disconnection of your telephone from your line.
If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the
telephone line, ensure the installation of this product does not disable
your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable
alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified
installer.
2Rights of the Telephone Company
Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the
telephone network, the telephone company shall, where practicable, notify
you that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. Where prior
notice is not practicable and the circumstances warrant such action, the
telephone company may temporarily discontinue service immediately. In case
of such temporary discontinuance, the telephone company must: (1) promptly
notify you of such temporary discontinuance; (2) afford you the opportunity to
correct the situation; and (3) inform you of your right to bring a complaint to
the Commission pursuant to procedures set forth in Subpart E of Part 68, FCC
Rules and Regulations.
The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities,
equipment, operations or procedures where such action is required in the
operation of its business and not inconsistent with FCC Rules and Regulations.
If these changes are expected to affect the use or performance of your
telephone equipment, the telephone company must give you adequate notice, in
writing, to allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.

handset in the same location anywhere where electrical power is available.
The system provides one outside line and one intercom path. And, the base
unit provides four voice channels for four handset users to perform intercom
and outside calls at the same time. You can also easily use your multi-handset
system to quickly access your telephone company’s convenient features with
one touch of the direct access buttons on your handset.

IMPORTANT: Because cordless phones operate on electricity, you
should have at least one phone in your home that isn’t cordless, in case
the power in your home goes out.
IMPORTANT: In order to use all of the features of this telephone, you
must subscribe to two separate services available from your local
telephone company: the standard Name/Number Caller ID Service to
know who is calling when the phone rings and Call Waiting Caller ID
Service to know who is calling while you are on the phone.
INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at
frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs, microwave ovens,
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,
microwave ovens, or VCR. If such interference continues, move the
cordless telephone farther away from these appliances. Certain other
communications devices may also use the 2.4 GHz frequency for
communication, and, if not properly set, these devices may interfere with
each other and/or your new telephone. If you are concerned with
interference, please refer to the owner’s manual for these devices on how
to properly set channels to avoid interference. Typical devices that may
use the 2.4 GHz frequency for communication include wireless audio/
video senders, wireless computer networks, multi-handset cordless
telephone systems, and some long-range cordless telephone systems.
