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.
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 digital devices.
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.
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.
CAUTION:
To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, 
the base unit should be installed with its antenna 
located at 20 cm or more from persons and handset 
should be carried with the specific belt-clip provided 
for the handset to ensure compliance. Other non-
tested belt-clips or similar body-worn accessories 
may not comply, therefore, should be avoided.
