FCC Part 15
Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void
the user's authority to operate the equipment. The equipment has been tested and found to comply with 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
and 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 or on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC and ACTA Information
If this equipment was approved for connection to the telephone network prior to July 23, 2001, it complies with Part 68 of
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules. If the equipment was approved after that date, it complies with the
Part 68 rules and with Technical Requirements for Connection of Equipment to the Telephone Network adopted by the
Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA).
We are required to provide you with the following information.
1. Product identifier and REN information
The label on the back or bottom of this equipment contains, among other things, an identifier indicating product approval
and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). This information must be provided to your local telephone company upon
request. For equipment approved prior to July 23, 2001, the product identifier is preceded by the phrase “FCC Reg No.”
and the REN is listed separately. For equipment approved after that date, the product identifier is preceded by “US” and a
colon (:), and the REN is encoded in the product identifier without a decimal point as the sixth and seventh characters
following the colon. For example, the product identifier US:AAAEQ03T123XYZ would indicate an REN of 0.3. The REN is
used to determine how many devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have them ring when you are
called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of all RENs should be five (5.0) or less. For more information, please contact
your local telephone company.
2. Connection and use with the nationwide telephone network
The plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and the telephone network must comply with the
applicable Part 68 rules and technical requirements adopted by 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. An RJ11
jack should normally be used for connecting to a single line and an RJ14 jack for two lines. See Installation Instructions in
this user’s manual. This equipment may not be used with Coin Telephone Lines or with Party Lines. If you have specially
wired alarm dialing equipment connected to your telephone line, ensure the connection 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.
3. Repair instructions
If this equipment is malfunctioning, it must be unplugged from the modular jack until the problem has been corrected.
Repairs to this telephone equipment can only be made by the manufacturer or its authorized agents. For repair
procedures, follow the instructions outlined under the Limited Warranty.
4. Rights of the telephone company
If this equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue your
telephone service. The telephone company is required to notify you before interrupting service. If advance notice is not
practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will be given the opportunity to correct the problem and the
telephone company is required to inform you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC. Your telephone company may
make changes in its facilities, equipment, operation, or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of this product.
The telephone company is required to notify you if such changes are planned.
5. Hearing aid compatibility
If this product is equipped with a corded or cordless handset, it is hearing aid compatible.
6. Programming/testing of emergency numbers
If this product has memory dialing locations, you may choose to store police, fire department and emergency medical
service telephone numbers in these locations. If you do, please keep three things in mind:
a. We recommend that you also write the telephone number on the directory card, so that you can still dial the
emergency number manually if the memory dialing feature doesn’t work.
b. This feature is provided only as a convenience, and the manufacturer assumes no responsibility for customer
reliance upon the memory feature.
c. Testing the emergency telephone numbers you have stored is not recommended.
However, if you do make a call to an emergency number:
• You must remain on the line and briefly explain the reason for the call before hanging up.
• Programming/testing of emergency numbers should be performed during off-peak hours, such as in the early
morning or late evening, when the emergency services tend to be less busy.
IC (Industry Canada)
This telephone is registered for use in Canada.
The term “IC:” before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications were met.
Notice: This equipment meets the applicable Industry Canada Terminal Equipment Technical Specifications. This is
confirmed by the registration number. The abbreviation, IC, before the registration number signifies that registration was
performed based on a Declaration of Conformity indicating that Industry Canada technical specifications were met. It does
not imply that Industry Canada approved the equipment.
Notice: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this terminal equipment is 0.1. The REN assigned to each terminal
equipment provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface.
The termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of
the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed five.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local
telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. The
customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of services in some
situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the
Supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the
telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines
and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important
in rural areas.
Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electrical
inspection authority or electrician as appropriate.
Your Cordless Phone is designed to operate at the maximum power allowed by the FCC and IC. This means your
handset and base unit can communicate only over a certain distance - which will depend on the location of the base unit
and handset, weather, and the construction and layout of your home or office.
