1 National requirements will apply only if the equipment may use 
pulse dialling (manufacturers may state in the user guide that the 
equipment is only intended to support DTMF signalling, which 
would make any additional testing superfluous).
In The Netherlands additional testing is required for series 
connection and caller ID facilities.

Declarations and Safety Statements
Federal Communications Commission Statement
This device complies with FCC Rules Part 15. Operation is subject to 
the following two conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful interference.
•  This device must accept any interference received, including 
interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the 
limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the Federal 
Communications Commission (FCC) rules. These limits are designed 
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in 
a residential 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 interference 
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that 
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment 
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, 
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the 
user is encouraged to try to 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 on a circuit different from 
that to which the receiver is connected. 
•  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for 
help.
The use of a shielded-type power cord is required in order to 
meet FCC emission limits and to prevent interference to the 
nearby radio and television reception.  It is essential that only 
the supplied power cord be used. Use only shielded cables to 
connect I/O devices to this equipment. You are cautioned that 
changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party 
responsible for compliance could void your authority to operate
