READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION
Your TAD-794 conforms to federal re
g
u-
lations, and
y
ou can connect it to most
telephone lines. However, each device
that
y
ou connect to the telephone line
draws power from the line. We refer to
this power draw as the device’s
ringer
equivalence number
, or REN. The REN
is on the bottom of the base.
If
y
ou are usin
g
more than one phone or
other device on the line, add up all the
RENs. If the total is more than five,
y
our
phones mi
g
ht not rin
g
. In rural areas, a
total REN of three mi
g
ht impair rin
g
er
operation. If rin
g
er operation is impaired,
remove a device from the line.
FCC STATEMENT
Your TAD-794 complies with Part 68 of
FCC Rules
. You must, upon request,
provide the FCC re
g
istration number
and the REN to
y
our phone compan
y
.
These numbers are on the bottom of the
base.
You must not connect
y
our phone to an
y
of the followin
g
:
• coin-operated s
y
stems
•part
y
-line s
y
stems
• most electronic ke
y
phone s
y
stems
Note: Your telephone operates on stan-
dard radio frequencies, as allocated b
y
the FCC. Even thou
g
h the securit
y
access-protection code prevents unau-
thorized use of
y
our phone line, it is pos-
sible for other radio units operatin
g
on
similar frequencies within a certain area
to unintentionall
y
intercept
y
our conver-
sations and/or cause interference. This
lack of privac
y
can occur with an
y
cord-
less phone.
