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

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.

Telephone Jack Requirements

To use this phone, you need an RJ11C type modular

telephone 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.

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.

When you place the handset in the base, the unit verifies its security code.

After power outage or battery replacement, you should place the handset in

the base for about 20 seconds to reset the code.

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 5.8 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 User’s Guide for

these devices on how to properly set channels to avoid

interference. Typical devices that may use the 5.8 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.

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.

Privacy of Communications may not be ensured when using this product.

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.

Call Waiting Caller ID

Provided you subscribe to Call Waiting Caller ID service from your phone

company; if you receive an incoming call and you are already on the phone,

a beep indicates the presence of a Call Waiting call on the line. Only the

handset that is in use at the time of the call will display and store the Call

Waiting Caller ID information.

flash/prog button to put the current call on hold and answer the incoming

call. Press flash/prog again to return to the original call.

the phone rings, giving you a chance to monitor the information and decide

whether or not to answer the call.

Storing CID Records (In CID Memory)

If you are not at home or cannot answer, your telephone’s Caller ID memory

stores the data for the 40 most recent calls you received so you can see who

called while you were unavailable. When the 41st call is received, the oldest

Caller ID record (1st call) is automatically deleted.

You may review the stored information at any time. Calls received since your

last review show as

NEW

in the display. Calls that have not been previously

reviewed but were received from the same number more than once show as

REPT

in the display.
