Interference Information
2.4 GHz Cordless
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy which may interfere
with residential radio and television reception if not properly installed and used in
accordance with instructions contained in this manual. Reasonable protection against
Telephone System
such interference is ensured, although there is no guarantee this will not occur in a
given installation. If interference is suspected and verified by switching this equipment
User's Guide
on and off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures: Reorient the radio/television receiver's antenna, relocate the
equipment with respect to the receiver, plug the equipment and receiver into separate
circuit outlets. The user may also wish to consult a qualified radio/television technician
for additional suggestions. This equipment has been fully tested and complies with all
limits for Class B computing devices pursuant to part 15 FCC Rules and Regulations.
Telephone Network Information
Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the telephone
network, the telephone company, where practicable, may 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.
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. If these changes are expected to affect the use or performance of your
telephone equipment, the telephone company will likely give you adequate notice to
allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.
Notice must be given to the telephone company upon termination of your telephone
from your line.
REN Number
On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information, the
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment.
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.
Important Information
REN Number is located on the cabinet bottom.

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.
INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies
that may cause or receive interference with 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.
Certain other communications devices may also use the 2.4 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 owner's manual for
these devices on how to properly set channels to avoid interference.
Typical devices that may use the 2.4 GHz frequency for communication
include wireless audio/video senders, wireless computer networks,
multi-handset cordless telephone systems, and some long-range
cordless telephone systems.
