FCC Part 15
Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit
not expressly approved by the party responsi-
ble for compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
The equipment has been tested and found to
comply with part 15 of the FCC rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable pro-
tection against harmful interference in a resi-
dential installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful inter-
ference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equip-
ment does cause harmful interference to radio
or television reception, which can be deter-
mined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try and correct the
interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet or on
a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.
FCC and ACTA Information
If this equipment was approved for connec-
tion to the telephone network prior to July 23,
2001, it complies with Part 68 of the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) rules. If
the equipment was approved after that date,
it complies with the Part 68 rules and with
Technical Requirements for Connection of
Equipment to the Telephone Network adopted
by the Administrative Council for Terminal
Attachments (ACTA). We are required to pro-
vide you with the following information.
1. Product identifier and REN information
The label on the back or bottom of this equip-
ment contains, among other things, an identi-
fier indicating product approval and the
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). This infor-
mation must be provided to your local tele-
phone company upon request. For equipment
approved prior to July 23, 2001, the product
identifier is preceded by the phrase “FCC Reg
No.” and the REN is listed separately. For
equipment approved after that date, the prod-
uct identifier is preceded by “US” and a colon
(:), and the REN is encoded in the product
identifier without a decimal point as the sixth
and seventh characters following the colon.
For example, the product identifier
US:AAAEQ03T123XYZ would indicate a REN
of 0.3.
The REN is used to determine how many
devices you may connect to your telephone
line and still have them ring when you are
called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of
all RENs should be five (5.0) or less. For more
information, please contact your local tele-
phone company.

wide telephone network
The plug and jack used to connect this equip-
ment to the premises wiring and the tele-
phone network must comply with the applica-
ble Part 68 rules and technical requirements
adopted by ACTA. A compliant telephone
cord and modular plug is provided with this
product. It is designed to be connected to a
compatible modular jack that is also compli-
ant. An RJ11 jack should normally be used for
connecting to a single line and an RJ14 jack
for two lines. See Installation Instructions in
this user’s manual. This equipment may not
be used with Coin Telephone Lines or with
Party Lines. [Connection to Party Line service
is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state
public utility commission, public service com-
mission or corporation commission for infor-
mation.] If you have specially wired alarm dial-
ing equipment connected to your telephone
line, ensure the connection of this equipment
does not disable your alarm equipment. If you
have questions about what will disable alarm
equipment, consult your telephone company
or a qualified installer.
3. Repair instructions
If this equipment is malfunctioning, it must be
unplugged from the modular jack until the
problem has been corrected. Repairs to this
telephone equipment can only be made by
the manufacturer or its authorized agents. For
repair procedures, follow the instructions out-
lined under the Limited Warranty.
4. Rights of the telephone company
If this equipment is causing harm to the tele-
phone network, the telephone company may
temporarily discontinue your telephone ser-
vice. The telephone company is required to
notify you before interrupting service. If
advance notice is not practical, you will be
notified as soon as possible. You will be given
the opportunity to correct the problem and
the telephone company is required to inform
you of your right to file a complaint with the
FCC. Your telephone company may make
changes in its facilities, equipment, operation,
or procedures that could affect the proper
functioning of this product. The telephone
company is required to notify you if such
changes are planned.
5. Hearing aid compatibility
If this product is equipped with a corded or
cordless handset, it is hearing aid compatible.
6. Programming/testing of emergency
numbers
If this product has memory dialing locations,
you may choose to store police, fire depart-
ment and emergency medical service tele-
phone numbers in these locations. If you do,
please keep three things in mind:
a. We recommend that you also write the tele-
phone number on the directory card, so that
you can still dial the emergency number man-
ually if the memory dialing feature doesn’t
work.
b. This feature is provided only as a conve-
nience, and the manufacturer assumes no
responsibility for customer reliance upon the
memory feature.
c. Testing the emergency telephone numbers
you have stored is not recommended.
However, if you do make a call to an emer-
gency number:
• You must remain on the line and briefly
explain the reason for the call before hanging
up.
• Programming/testing of emergency num-
bers should be performed during off-peak
hours, such as in the early morning or late
evening, when the emergency services tend
to be less busy.
7. Electrical safety advisory
It is advisable to install a safety approved AC
surge arrester in the AC outlet to which this
device is connected. This is to avoid equip-
ment damage by local lightning strikes or
other electrical surges.
