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.
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 isencouraged 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.
