READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION
We have designed your phone to conform to
federal regulations, and you can connect it to
most telephone lines. However, each phone
(and each device, such as a telephone or an-
swering machine) that you connect to the
telephone line draws power from the tele-
phone line. We refer to this power draw as
the device's ringer equivalence number, or
REN. The REN is on the bottom of your
phone.
If you use more than one phone or other de-
vice on the line, add up all of the RENs. If the
total is more than five (or three in rural ar-
eas), your telephones might not ring. If ringer
operation is impaired, remove a device from
the line.
Your phone complies with Part 68 of FCC
Rules . You must, upon request, provide the
FCC registration number and the REN to
your telephone company. Both numbers are
on the bottom of your phone.
Note: You must not connect your phone to:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key telephone systems
Important:
• Cordless phones such as this one
require AC power to operate. When the
AC power is off, you cannot dial out or
receive incoming
phone. For this reason, the phone
should not be your only telephone. To be
safe, you should also have a phone that
does not require AC power to operate
(not a cordless phone) so you can still
make and receive calls if there is an AC
power failure.
• Some cordless phones operate at fre-
quencies that might cause interference
to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize
or prevent such interference, the base of
the cordless phone should not be placed
near or on top of a TV or VCR.
• Your cordless phone operates on stan-
dard radio frequencies, as allocated by
the FCC. Even though your phone's
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
possible lack of privacy can occur with
any cordless phone.
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
In the unlikely event that your phone causes
problems on the phone line, the phone com-
pany can temporarily discontinue your ser-
vice. If this happens, the phone company
attempts to notify you in advance. If advance
calls using your
