FCC INFORMATION

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. The label affixed to this equipment contains, among other
information, the FCC Registration Number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. We
suggest that you review the following information provided by the FCC.

NOTIFICATION TO THE TELEPHONE COMPANY

Notification to the telephone company is no longer required prior connecting the registered equipment. However,
upon request from the telephone company the user shall tell the telephone company which line the equipment is
connected to as well as the registration number and the ringer equivalence of the registered protective circuitry. In
most, but not all areas, the sum of all REN’s should be 5.0 or less.

TELEPHONE CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS

Except for ringers provided by the telephone company, all connections to the telephone network must be made
through standard plugs, telephone company provided jacks, or equivalent, in such a manner as to allow for easy
and immediate disconnection of the terminal equipment. Standard jacks should be so arranged that, if the
connected plug is withdrawn, no interference to the operation of the equipment at the customer’s premises, which
remains connected to the telephone network, should occur by reason of such withdrawal.

INCIDENCE OF HARM

Should terminal equipment or protective circuitry cause harm to the telephone network, the telephone company
shall, where practical, notify the customer that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. However,
where prior notices are not practical, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue service if such action is
deemed reasonable in the circumstances. In the case of such temporary discontinuance, the telephone company
shall promptly notify the customer who has the right to bring a complaint to the FCC if he feels the disconnection is
not warranted.

- 2-

CHANGES IN TELEPHONE COMPANY EQUIPMENT OR FACILITIES

The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment, operations or procedures,
where such action is reasonably required and proper in its business. Should any such changes render the
customer’s terminal equipment incompatible with the telephone company facilities, the customer shall be given
adequate notice to make modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.

GENERAL

The FCC prohibits customer-provided terminal equipment to be connected to party lines or to be used in
conjunction with a coin telephone service.

INSTALLATION

The device is equipped with a USOC RJ11C standard miniature modular jack and is designed to plug directly into
a modular jack.

Read this manual carefully before using this product.

Congratulations on your purchase of this product! The unit allows you to take advantage of the Caller

Identification service that may be offered by your local telephone company. Not all local telephone companies

provide Caller Identification service; therefore you must make sure the service is available.

arrange to have Caller ID with Call Waiting service installed on your line. There will be an extra charge
added to your monthly telephone bill for this service. Please consult with your local telephone company
for the Caller ID service charge.

1. The Caller ID function can be used to screen unwanted calls, eliminate harassment from annoying calls, or to

return missed calls using the displayed speed dial feature.

2. When used with Caller ID service, the unit displays the name and telephone number of the person calling,

along with the date and time of the call before you pick up your telephone.

3. Additionally, if you subscribe to Call Waiting combined with Caller ID service, this phone lets you see who’s

calling while you’re on another call (your telephone company must provide the service needed for this feature

to work).
