This product should not be placed in an enclosed environment unless proper ventilation is provided.

8. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where the cord will be abused by animals or persons walking on it.

9. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in risk of fire or electrical shock.

10. Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electrical shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

11. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not disassemble this product. Instead take it to a qualified service person when service or repair work is required. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect re-assembly can cause electrical shock when the appliance is subsequently used.

12. Unplug all cords and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

A. When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed. B. If liquid has been spilled into the product. C. If the product has been exposed to rain or water. D. If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls covered in

IF YOUR PRODUCT UTILIZES BATTERIES, THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE OBSERVED:

1. Danger of explosion, if battery is incorrectly replaced. Use only the type and size of batteries specified in the users manual.

2. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The cells may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.

3. Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.

4. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause burns.

5. Do not attempt to recharge the batteries with or identified for use with this product. The batteries may leak corrosive electrolyte or explode.

6. Do not attempt to rejuvenate the batteries provided with or identified for use with this product by heating them. Sudden release of the battery electrolyte may occur causing burns or irritation to eyes or skin.

7. When replacing batteries, all batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing fresh and discharged batteries could increase internal cell pressure and rupture the discharged batteries.

8. When inserting the batteries into this product, the proper polarity or direction must be observed. Reverse insertion of batteries can cause charging, which may result in leakage or explosion. If a battery is installed incorrectly it may explode.

9. Remove the batteries from this product if the product will not be used for a long period of time (several months or more) since during this time the batteries could leak, damaging the product.

10. Discard "dead" batteries as soon as possible since they are more likely to leak in a product.

INTERFERENCE INFORMATION: PART 15 OF FCC RULES

Some telephone equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy which if not properly installed, may cause interference to radio and television reception.

This unit has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B computing device in accordance with the specifications in Part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, when it’s in use, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

A. Where it can be done safely, reorient the radio or TV receiving antenna. B. To the extent possible, relocate the television, radio, or other receiver with respect

to the telephone equipment.

C. If your telephone product runs on AC power, plug your product into an AC outlet

that’s not on the same circuit as the one used by the radio or television.

FCC REGULATIONS CONTINUED

Warning: Modifying or tampering with the telephone's internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate the telephone's warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If the trouble is harming the telephone lines, the telephone company might ask you to disconnect the telephone until you have resolved the problem.

1. Connection and use with the nationwide telephone network: The FCC requires that you connect to a nationwide telephone network through a modular telephone outlet which is TIA/EIA-IS-968 compliant. It is USOC jack type RJ11C. This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company. Connection to party lines is subject to state tariffs. Check with your local telephone company.

2. Notification to the telephone company: FCC rules require that upon request you provide the following information to the phone company. A. The line (telephone number) to which you will connect the telephone equipment, and B. The Registration Number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). These

numbers are found on the back or bottom of your telephone equipment. The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your telephone numberis called. In most, but not all areas, the sum all RENs should be 5 or less.To determine the number of devices permitted in your area, contact your local telephone company.

3. Repair instructions: If it is determined that your telephone equipment is malfunctioning, the FCC requires that it not be used and be unplugged from the modular outlet until the problem has been corrected. Repairs to this telephone equipment can be made only by the manufacturer or its authorized agents, or by others who may be authorized by the FCC. Unauthorized repairs void registration and warranty.

4. Rights of the telephone company: If your product is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue your service. If possible, they will notify you in advance. But if advance notice isn’t practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will be given the opportunity to correct the problem, and you will be informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of your telephone equipment. If such changes are planned, you will be notified in advance.

5. This product is compatible with inductively coupled hearing aids.

Note: This applies only if this product is equipped with a corded or cordless handset.
