FCC and  Other In formatio n
11.3 FCC and Other Information
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC 
rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. 
On the rear of this equipment is a label that 
contains, among other information, a product 
identifier in the format US:ACJ----------.
If requested, this number must be provided to the 
telephone company.
 Registration No .....(found on the rear of the unit)
 Ringer Equivalence No. (REN)
...............................(found on the rear of the unit)
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to 
the premises wiring and telephone network must 
comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and 
requirements adopted by the 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 compliant.
The REN is used to determine the number of 
devices that may be connected to a telephone line. 
Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in 
the devices not ringing in response to an incoming 
call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs 
should not exceed five (5.0).To be certain of the 
number of devices that may be connected to a 
line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the 
local telephone company. For products approved 
after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part 
of the product identifier that has the format 
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by 
## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g.,03 is 
a REN of 0.3).
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone 
network, the telephone company will notify you in 
advance that temporary discontinuance of service 
may be required. But if advance notice isn’t 
practical, the telephone company will notify the 
customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be 
advised of your right to file a complaint with the 
FCC if you believe it is necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in its 
facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that 
could affect the operation of the equipment. If this 
happens the telephone company will provide 
advance notice in order for you to make necessary 
modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.
If trouble is experienced with this equipment, for 
repair or warranty information, please contact a 
Factory Servicenter or other Authorized Servicer. If 
the equipment is causing harm to the telephone 
network, the telephone company may request that 
you disconnect the equipment until the problem is 
resolved.Connection to party line service is subject to state 
tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission, 
public service commission or corporation 
commission for information.
If your home has specially wired alarm equipment 
connected to the telephone line, ensure the 
installation 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.
This equipment is hearing aid compatible as 
defined by the FCC in 47 CFR Section 68.316.
When you hold the phone to your ear, noise might 
be heard in your Hearing Aid. Some Hearing Aids 
are not adequately shielded from external RF 
(radio frequency) energy. If noise occurs, use an 
optional headset accessory or the speakerphone 
option (if applicable) when using this phone. 
Consult with your audiologist or Hearing Aid 
manufacturer about the availability of Hearing Aids 
which provide adequate shielding to RF energy 
commonly emitted by digital devices.
WHEN PROGRAMMING EMERGENCY 
NUMBERS AND(OR) MAKING TEST CALLS TO 
EMERGENCY NUMBERS:
1) Remain on the line and briefly explain to the 
dispatcher the reason for the call.
2) Perform such activities in the off-peak hours, 
such as early morning or late evenings.
The software contained in this equipment to allow 
user access to the network must be upgraded to 
recognize newly established network area codes 
and exchange codes as they are placed into 
service. Failure to upgrade the premises systems 
or peripheral equipment to recognize the new 
codes as they are established will restrict the 
customer and the customer’s employees from 
gaining access to the network and to these codes.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC 
Rules. Operation is subject to the following two 
conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful 
interference, and (2) this device must accept any 
interference received, including interference that 
may cause undesired operation.
Privacy of communications may not be ensured 
when using this phone.

CAUTION:
Any changes or modifications not expressly 
approved by the party responsible for compliance 
could void the user’s authority to operate this 
device.
NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to 
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, 
pursuant to Part 15 of the 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.
Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies 
that may cause interference to nearby TVs and 
VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, 
the base of the cordless telephone should not be 
placed near or on top of a TV or VCR. If 
interference is experienced, move the cordless 
telephone further away from the TV or VCR. This 
will often reduce, or eliminate, interference.
FCC RF Exposure Warning:
This product complies with FCC radiation 
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled 
environment. To comply with FCC RF exposure 
requirements the base unit must be installed and 
operated with its antenna located 20 cm or more 
between antenna and all person’s body 
(excluding extremities of hands, wrist and feet). 
The handset unit may be carried and operated 
with only the specific provided belt-clip. Other 
non-tested belt-clips or similar body-worn 
accessories may not comply and must be 
avoided. The base and handset units must not be 
co-located or operated in conjunction with any 
other antenna or transmitter.
