FCC REGISTRATION INFORMATION
Your telephone equipment is registered with the Federal
Communications Commission and is in compliance with parts 15 and
68, FCC Rules and Regulations.
1 Notification to the Local Telephone Company
On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other
information, the FCC Registration 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.
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.
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 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.

INTRODUCTION
Your Caller ID phone stores and displays specific
information, provided by your local telephone company, to
subscribers of Caller ID or similar caller identification
services. You must subscribe to one of these services in
order to use this unit.
Your Caller ID phone enables you to:
• Identify callers before you answer the phone.
• View the time and date of each incoming call.
• Record up to 40 Caller ID messages sequentially.
• Know who called while you were away.
To get the most from your new phone, we suggest that you
take a few minutes right now to read through this user's
guide.
IMPORTANT: In order to use this unit, you must
subscribe to either the standard Name/Number Caller
ID Service or Caller ID with Call Waiting Service. To
know who is calling while you are on the phone, you
must subscribe to Caller ID with Call Waiting Service.
IMPORTANT: Because cordless phones operate on
electricity, you should have at least one phone in your
home that isn’t cordless, in case the power in your
home goes out.
CAUTION: When using telephone equipment,
there are basic safety instructions that should
always be followed. Refer to the IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS provided with this

MODULAR JACK REQUIREMENTS
You need an RJ11 type modular phone jack, which
is the most common type of phone jack and might
look like the one pictured here. If you don’t have a
modular jack, call your local phone company to
find out how to get one installed.
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 ovens, or VCR. If such interference
continues, move the cordless telephone farther away
from these appliances. Certain other communications
devices may also use the 2.4 GHz frequency for
communication, and, if properly set, these devices may
interfere with each other and/or your new telephone.
If you are concerned with interference, please refer to
the owner’s manual for these devices on how to
properly set channels to avoid interference. Typical
devices that may use the 2.4 GHz frequency for
communication include wireless audio/video senders,
wireless computer networks, multi-handset cordless
telephone systems, and some long-range cordless
telephone systems.
