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 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.

SPEAKERPHONE BASICS

SPEAKERPHONE LOCATION

Your phone features a speakerphone for ease of use and
convenience during a phone conversation. At any time during a
conversation, you can lift the handset to stop using the
speakerphone. Likewise, when you are using the handset, press the
SPEAKER button and place the handset in the cradle to switch to
the speakerphone.

For best speakerphone performance, avoid the following:

• Areas with high background noise. (The microphone might pick
up these sounds and prevent the speakerphone from going into
the receiving mode when you finish talking.)

• Surfaces affected by vibration.

• Recessed areas such as in a corner, under a cupboard, or next to
a cabinet, which can generate an echo effect.

SPEAKERPHONE USE

Note the following guidelines when using the speakerphone:

• The speakerphone works similar to a two-way radio in that
you can only listen or talk at one time.

• Stay reasonably close to the phone so that you can be clearly
heard by the person to whom you are talking.

• You can adjust the speaker volume by pressing the volume
button continuously or pressing the REVIEW ^ or V buttons after
pressing the volume button.

• The speakerphone indicator light comes on when the
speakerphone is in use.

NOTE: Batteries must be installed for the speakerphone to operate.

TELEPHONE BASICS

You can use the telephone by speaking into and listening through
the handset, or by using the Speakerphone feature. For all
operations, either line button 1 or 2 must be pressed. Do not press
both buttons down at the same time.

LINE STATUS INDICATORS
