QUIPMENT APPROVAL INFORMATION
E
Your telephone equipment is approved for connection to the Public Switched
Telephone Network and is in compliance with parts 15 and 68, FCC Rules and
Regulations and the Technical Requirements for Telephone Terminal
Equipment published by ACTA.
1. Notification to the Local Telephone Company
On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information,
the US number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment. You
must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone company.
The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you may connect to
your telephone line and still have all of these devices ring when your telephone
number is called. In most (but not all) areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices
connected to one line should not exceed 5. To be certain of the number of
devices you may connect to your line as determined by the REN, you should
contact your local telephone company.
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and
telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and
requirements adopted by the 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. See installation instructions for
details.
Notes
This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the
telephone company.
Party lines are subject to state tariffs, and therefore, you may not be able
to use your own telephone equipment if you are on a party line. Check
with your local telephone company.
Notice must be given to the telephone company upon permanent
disconnection of your telephone from your line.
If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the
telephone line, ensure the installation of this product does not disable your
alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm
equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.
2. Rights of the Telephone Company
Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the
telephone network, the telephone company shall, where practicable, notify you
that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. Where prior notice
1
Page 3
is not practicable and the circumstances warrant such action, the telephone
company may temporarily discontinue service immediately. In case of such
temporary discontinuance, the telephone company must: (1) promptly notify
you of such temporary discontinuance; (2) afford you the opportunity to correct
the situation; and (3) inform you of your right to bring a complaint to the
Commission pursuant to procedures set forth in Subpart E of Part 68, FCC
Rules and Regulations.
The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities,
equipment, operations or procedures where such action is required in the
operation of its business and not inconsistent with FCC Rules and Regulations.
If these changes are expected to affect the use or performance of your
telephone equipment, the telephone company must give you adequate notice,
in writing, to allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.
INTERFERENCE INFORMATION
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.
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 is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for radio or
television that is “receiving” the interference).
Reorient or relocate and increase the separation between the
telecommunications equipment and receiving antenna.
Connect the telecommunications equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiving antenna is connected.
2
Page 4
If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer
or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. Also,
the Federal Communications Commission has prepared a helpful booklet,
“How To Identify and Resolve Radio/TV Interference Problems.” This booklet
is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C.
20402. Please specify stock number 004-000-00345-4 when ordering copies.
CAUTION / WARNING: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by
Market Direct could void not only the user’s authority to operate the equipment,
but also the limited warranty.

CAUTION:
that should always be followed. Refer to the IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS provided with this product and save them for future reference.
When using telephone equipment, there are basic safety instructions
Congratulations on purchasing this Caller ID Cordless Phone. This system
operates in the 5.8GHz frequency range, and is unique to conventional
cordless telephones. You can place a fully featured cordless handset
anywhere an electrical power line is available.
Features:
5.8 GHz digital technology
Caller ID 2.0/2.5
Call Waiting ID Deluxe
Up to 50 phonebook memory
This telephone has been designed to be simple to use, however, you can
reach its full potential more quickly by taking a few minutes to read this
instruction book. This telephone is a multifunction product for use with Call
Waiting and Caller ID services available from your local telephone company.
Your caller ID Call Waiting phone allows you to:
View the name and telephone number of a caller while you are on the
phone (Call Waiting Caller ID).
Identify callers before you answer the phone.
View the time and date of each incoming call.
Record up to 40 Caller ID messages sequentially in the handset.
Know who called while you are on the other line or when you were away.
Screen unwanted calls, eliminate harassment from annoying calls, or to
get prepared before answering a call.
6
Page 8
IMPORTANT: Because cordless phones operate on electricity, you should have at least one
phone in your home that is not cordless, in case the power in your home goes out.
IMPORTANT:
separate services available from your local telephone company: the standard Name/Number
Caller ID Service to know who is calling when the phone rings and Call Waiting Caller ID
Service to know who is calling while you are on the phone.
INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause
interference to nearby TVs, microwave ovens, 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,
microwave oven, or VCR. If such interference continues, move the cordless telephone further
away from these appliances. Certain other communications devices may also use the 5.8 GHz
frequency for communication, and, if not properly set, these devices may interfere with each
other and/or your new telephone. Typical devices that may use the 5.8 GHz frequency for
communication include wireless audio/video senders, wireless computer networks,
multi-handset cordless telephone systems, and some long-range cordless telephone systems.
