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.
1 Notification 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 re-
quirements 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.
2 Rights 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 Com-
mission 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 opera-
tion 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.

Interference 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.
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 de-
signed 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 (that is, the antenna for radio or television that is “receiving” the interference).
• Reorient or relocate and increase the separation between the telecommunications equipment and receiving antenna.
• Connect the telecommunications equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiving antenna is connected.
If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. Also,
the Federal Communications Commission has prepared a helpful booklet, “How To Identify and Resolve Radio/TV Interference Problems.” This booklet is avail-
able from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. Please specify stock number 004-000-00345-4 when ordering copies.

installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 centimeters between the radiator and your body. This transmitter must not be
co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.”

Important Installation Information
Safety Precautions
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically
designed for wet locations.

• Temporarily disconnect any equipment connected to the phone such as faxes,
other phones, or modems.
Installation Guidelines
• Install the wall base unit into an electrical outlet that is near a telephone
(modular) jack.
• Avoid sources of noise, such as a window by a busy street, and electrical noise,
such as motors, microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.

Connections & Setup
CAUTION: Always disconnect all phone cords from the base unit before battery
installation or replacement.
INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause
or receive interference with 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 2.4GHz
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 2.4GHz frequency for communication include wireless
audio/video senders, wireless computer networks, multi-handset cordless telephone systems,
and some long-range cordless telephone systems.
Telephone Jack Requirements
To use this phone, you will need an RJ11C type modular phone jack, which might
look like the one pictured here, installed in your home. If you don’t have a modular
jack, call your local phone company to find out how to get one installed.

electrical noise (for example, motors or fluorescent lamps).
