READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION
Your TAD-794 conforms to federal regu-
lations, and you can connect it to most
telephone lines. However, each device
that you connect to the telephone line
draws power from the line. We refer to
this power draw as the device's ringer
equivalence number , or REN. The REN
is on the bottom of the base.

If you are using more than one phone or
other device on the line, add up all the
RENs. If the total is more than five, your
phones might not ring. In rural areas, a
total REN of three might impair ringer
operation. If ringer operation is impaired,
remove a device from the line.
FCC STATEMENT
Your TAD-794 complies with Part 68 of
FCC Rules . You must, upon request,
provide the FCC registration number
and the REN to your phone company.
These numbers are on the bottom of the
base.
You must not connect your phone to any
of the following:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key phone systems
Note: Your telephone operates on stan-
dard radio frequencies, as allocated by
the FCC. Even though the security
access-protection code prevents unau-
thorized use of your phone line, it is pos-
sible for other radio units operating on
similar frequencies within a certain area
to unintentionally intercept your conver-
sations and/or cause interference. This
lack of privacy can occur with any cord-
less phone.
