NFORMATION
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.
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.
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.

EQUIREMENTS
To properly connect your phone to your telephone
lines, you will need an RJ11 type modular phone
jack, which might look like the one pictured here. If
you don’t have a modular jack, call your local phone
company to find out how to get one installed.
INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones
operate at frequencies that may cause interference to
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.

Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to
provide protection 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 a power outage or battery
replacement, you should place the handset in the base for
about 20 seconds to reset the code.
