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 d\
esigned to

:
—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 tha\
t to which thereceiver is connected.
—Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. 
						

							74
FCC and Other Information
Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interfere\
nce 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. I\
f
interference is experienced, move the cordless telephone further away fr\
om the
TV or VCR. This will often reduce, or eliminate, interference. 
Operating near 2.4GHz electrical appliances may cause interference. Move\
 away 
from the electrical appliances.
CAUTION:
To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, the base unit should be ins\
talled
with its antenna located at 20 cm or more from persons and handset shoul\
d 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 com\
ply,
therefore, should be avoided. 
This equipment is hearing aid compatible as defined by the FCC in 47 C\
FR 
Section 68.316.
•Environment — do not place the unit in a room where the temperature is less
than 5°C (41°F) or greater than 40°C (104°F). Allow 10 c\
m (4) clearance around 
the unit for proper ventilation. Avoid excessive smoke, dust, mechanical\
vibration, shock, or direct sunlight.
•Medical  — consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as
pacemakers or hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded\
 from
external RF (radio frequency) energy. (The unit operates in the frequ\
ency range of
2400MHz to 2480MHz, and the power output level can range 0.04 watts to 0\
.40
watts.) Do not use the unit in health care facilities if any regulation\
s posted in the
area instruct you not to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may \
be using
equipment that could be sensitive to external RF (radio frequency) ene\
rgy.
•Routine care  — wipe the unit with a soft cloth. Do not use benzine, thinner, or
any abrasive powder. When you leave the unit unused for a long period of\
 time,
unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet.
•If there is any trouble  — disconnect the unit from the telephone line and connect
a known working phone. If the known working phone operates properly, hav\
e your
unit repaired by a Factory Servicenter or other Authorized Servicer. If \
the known
working phone does not operate properly, consult your telephone company.\
When you hold the phone to your ear, noise might be heard in your Hearin\
g Aid. 
Some Hearing Aids are not adequately shielded from external RF (radio
frequency) energy. If noise occurs, use an optional headset accessory o\
r the
speakerphone option (if applicable) when using this phone. Consult wit\
h your
audiologist or Hearing Aid manufacturer about the availability of Hearin\
g Aids
which provide adequate shielding to RF energy commonly emitted by digita\
l
devices.
