IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION

To reduce the risk of fire, use only

When using your telephone, you should always follow basic safety

precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal
injury. Some of these precautions are listed below:

1. Do not use the telephone near water, for example near a bath tub,
wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a
swimming pool.

2. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an
electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from
lightning.

3. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the
leak.

4. Always unplug the telephone from the telephone jack before clean­ing.

5. Do not use the telephone if it has been immersed in water or other
liquid, if any liquid has entered the interior, if it has been damaged, or
if it malfunctions. This product has no user-serviceable parts. Do
not attempt to examine or repair the telephone yourself. Take it to a
qualified repair shop or return it to the manufacturer for repair.

FCC INFORMATION

Part 68 is a Federal regulation which requires equipment to be tested and regis­tered with the FCC prior to its connection to the network. This equipment com­plies with Part 68 of FCC rules. On the bottom of the telephone is a label that
contains, among other information, the FCC Registration Number and the Ringer
Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. You must, upon request, provide
this information to your telephone company.

The Ringer Equivalence Number(REN), which is used to determine the number
of devices you may connect to your phone line, indicates the amount of power that
your telephone draws from the telephone company line during ringing. If you have
more than one telephone (or other terminal device) connected to the telephone
company line, you should total the RENs, and be sure that the total is not more
than five. Your telephones may not ring if the total is more than five. Also, in some
rural locations, your telephone may not ring if the REN total is more than three.

RESTRICTIONS You must not connect your telephone to coin-operated lines or
party lines.

INSTALLATION This model telephone must be connected to the telephone com­pany lines through a modular jack. The required USOC for the modular jack is
RJ11C for desk mounting and RJ11W for wall mounting. The USOC number is
printed on the label on the bottom of your telephone.

HEARING-AID COMPATIBILITY The handset on your telephone will work with
magnetically-coupled hearing aids. You can use a hearing aid equipped with a T
(Telephone) switch.

IN CASE OF TROUBLE If your telephone should cause problems on the telephone
line, the telephone company can temporarily disconnect your service. The tele­phone company must then notify and allow you to correct the problem.
