Information about caller ID with call waiting

This product has a caller ID function with call
waiting feature which works with service from
your local telephone company.

Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name
and telephone number of the caller before
answering the telephone, even when on another
call.

It may be necessary to change your telephone
service to use this feature. Contact your telephone
company if:

• You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as
separate services (you may need combined service).

• You have only caller ID service, or only call wait­ing service.

• You do not have any caller ID or call waiting
services.

This product can be used with regular caller ID
service, or this product’s other features can be
used without subscribing to either caller ID or
combined caller ID with call waiting service. There
are fees for caller ID services, and they may not
be available in all areas.

Depending on your service, you may see the caller’s
number or the caller’s name and number. This product
can provide information only if both you and the
caller are in areas offering caller ID service and if
both telephone companies use compatible equipment.
The time and date are sent by the telephone company
along with the call information.

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 an 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

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.

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 recom-

mended. 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 dur-

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