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.

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.

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
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.
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
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 (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 available from the U.S. Government Printing
Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. Please specify stock number
004-000-00345-4 when ordering copies.

Introduction
CAUTION: When using telephone equipment, there are basic safety
instructions that should always be followed. Refer to the IMPORTANT

Telephone Jack Requirements
To use this phone, you will need an RJ11C (for
a single line) or a RJ14C (for two lines) type
modular phone jack, which might look like the
one pictured here, installed in your home or

Installation
Digital Security System
Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to protect against false
ringing, unauthorized access, and charges to your phone line.
INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that
may cause or receive interference with 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 1.9 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
1.9 GHz frequency for communication include wireless audio/video senders,
wireless computer networks, multi-handset cordless telephone systems, and
some long-range cordless telephone systems.
Important Installation Guidelines
• Avoid sources of noise and heat, such as motors, fluorescent lighting,
microwave ovens, heating appliances and direct sunlight.
• Avoid areas of excessive dust, moisture and low temperature.
• Avoid other cordless telephones or personal computers.
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is
specifically designed for wet locations.
• Never touch non-insulated telephone wires or terminals, unless the
telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

Memory Full
When the answering system memory is full, the system answers after 10
rings. “Memory full” will be announced and waits for you to enter 3-digit
security code. If you don’t enter the security code within 7 seconds, the
phone hangs up.
You should erase some messages so the answering system may record new
messages.
NOTE: The unit also answers after the 10th ring if it is set to Answer Off. To
access the answering system, enter your 3-digit security code.
