SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

FCC and ACTA Information

If this equipment was approved for connection to the telephone network prior to July 23, 2001, it complies with Part 68 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules. If the equipment was approved after that date, it complies with the Part 68 rules and with Technical Requirements for Connection of Equipment to the Telephone Network adopted by the Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA). We are required to provide you with the following information.

1. Product identifier and REN information

The label on the back or bottom of this equipment contains, among other things, an identifier indicating product approval and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). This information must be provided to your local telephone company upon request. For equipment approved prior to July 23, 2001, the product identifier is preceded by the phrase “FCC Reg No.” and the REN is listed separately. For equipment approved after that date, the product identifier is preceded by “US” and a colon (:), and the REN is encoded in the product identifier without a decimal point as the sixth and seventh characters following the colon. For example, the product identifier US: AAAEQ03T123XYZ would indicate a REN of 0.3. The REN is used to determine how many devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have them ring when you are called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of all RENs should be five (5.0) or less. You may want to contact your local telephone company for more information.

2. Connection and use with the nationwide telephone network

The plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and the telephone network must comply with the applicable Part 68 rules and technical requirements adopted by 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. An RJ11 jack should normally be used for connecting to a single line and an RJ14 jack for two lines. See installation instructions in the user’s manual. This equipment may not be used with coin telephone lines or with party lines. If you have specially wired alarm dialing equipment connected to your telephone line, ensure the connection of this equipment does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable the alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or qualified installer.

3. Repair instructions

If this equipment is malfunctioning, it must be unplugged from the modular jack until the problem has been corrected. Repairs to this telephone equipment can only be made by the manufacturer or its authorized agents. For repair procedures, follow the instructions outlined under the Limited Warranty.

4. Rights of the telephone company

If this equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue your telephone service. The telephone company is required to notify you before interrupting service. If advance notice is not practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will be given the opportunity to correct the problem and the telephone company is required to inform you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC. Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operation, or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of this product. The telephone company is required to notify you if such changes are planned.

5. Hearing aid compatibility

If this product is equipped with a corded or cordless handset, it is hearing aid compatible.

6. Programming/testing of emergency numbers

If this product has memory dialing locations, you may choose to store police, fire department and emergency medical service telephone numbers in these locations. If you do, please keep three things in mind: a We recommend that you also write the telephone number on the directory

card (if applicable), so that you can still dial the emergency number manually if the memory dialing feature doesn’t work.

b This feature is provided only as a convenience, and the manufacturer assumes

no responsibility for customer reliance upon the memory feature.

c Testing the emergency telephone numbers you have stored is not

recommended. However, if you do make a call to an emergency number:

 You must remain on the line and briefly explain the reason for the call before

hanging up.

 Programming/testing of emergency numbers should be performed during off-

peak hours, such as in the early morning or late evening, when the emergency services tend to be less busy.

Interference Information: Part 15 of FCC Rules

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

This product has been tested and found to meet the standards for a Class B digital device, as specified 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 product causes interference to radio, VCR or television reception when it is in

use, you might correct the interference with any one or all of these measures:

— Where it can be done safely, re-orient the receiving radio, VCR or television

antenna.

— To the extent possible, relocate the radio, VCR, television or other receiver with

respect to the telephone equipment.

— If this telephone product runs on AC power, plug your product into an AC outlet

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

Modifications to this product, not expressly approved by the manufacturer, could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
