Your TAD (Telephone Answering Device) is
ETL listed to UL standards and meets all ap-
plicable FCC standards.
IMPORTANT CALLER ID
INFORMATION
To use the TAD’s Caller ID, you must be in
an area where Caller ID service is available,
and you must subscribe to the service.
Where Caller ID is offered, one or more of
the following options are generally available:
• caller's number only
• caller's name only
• caller's name and number
Note:
For the TAD’s Caller ID memory dial
feature to operate, you must receive the call-
er's number.
READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION
We have designed your TAD to conform to
federal regulations and you can connect it to
most phone lines. However, each device that
you connect to the TAD line draws power
from the line. We refer to this power draw as
the TAD's ringer equivalence number, or
REN. The REN is shown on the bottom of
your TAD.
If you use more than one telephone or other
device on the line, add up all the RENs. If the
total is more than five (three in rural areas),
your TAD might not ring. If ringer operation is
impaired, remove one of the devices from
the line.
FCC STATEMENT
Your TAD complies with Part 68 of
FCC
Rules
. Upon request, you must provide the
phone's FCC registration number and REN
to your telephone company. These numbers
are on the bottom of the base.
Note:
You must not connect your TAD to:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key phone systems
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
In the unlikely event that your TAD 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
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 proce-
dures 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 interrup-
tion of your telephone service.
LIGHTNING
Your TAD 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
TAD.
Lightning damage is not common. Neverthe-
less, if you live in an area that has severe
electrical storms, we suggest that you unplug
your TAD when storms approach to reduce
the possibility of damage.
