Your telephone complies with Part 68 of
FCC Rules
. You must, upon request,
provide the FCC registration number and the
REN (see below) to your telephone
company. Both numbers are on the bottom
of your phone.
±
We have designed your telephone to
conform to federal regulations, and you can
connect it to most telephone lines. However,
each telephone (and each device, such as a
telephone or answering machine) that you
connect to the telephone line draws power
from the telephone line. We refer to this
power draw as the device's ringer
equivalence number, or REN on the bottom
of your phone.
If you use more than one phone or other
device on the line, add up all of the RENs. If
the total is more than five (three in rural
areas), your telephones might not ring. If
ringer operation is impaired, remove a
device from the line.
In the unlikely event that your phone causes
problems on the phone line, the phone
company can temporarily discontinue your
service. If this happens, the phone company
attempts to notify you in advance. If advance
notice is not practical, the phone company
notifies you as soon as possible and advises
you of your right to file a complaint with the
FCC.
Also, the phone company can make
changes to its lines, equipment, operations,
or procedures that could affect the operation
of this telephone. The telephone company
notifies you of these changes in advance, so
you can take the necessary steps to prevent
interruption of your telephone service.

Your telephone has built-in protection
circuits to reduce the risk of damage from
surges in telephone line and power line
current. These protection circuits meet or
exceed the FCC requirements. However,
lightning striking the telephone or power
lines can damage your telephone.
Lightning damage is not common.
Nevertheless, if you live in an area that has
severe electrical storms, we suggest that
you unplug your phone when storms
approach to reduce the possibility of
damage.
Your phone is ETL listed to UL standards
and meets applicable FCC requirements.

Your telephone connects directly to a
modular telephone line jack. If your
telephone wiring does not have a modular
jack, you can update the wiring yourself
using jacks and adapters (available at your
local RadioShack store), or have the
telephone company update the wiring for
you. You must use compatible modular
jacks that are compliant with Part 68 of
FCC
Rules
.
