Operation is subject to the following two conditions (1) this device may not cause interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
NOTICE: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the
equipment meets certain telecommunications
network, protective, operational and safety
requirements as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements document(s). The Department does not guarantee the
equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should
ensure that it is permissible to be connected to
the facilities of the local telecommunications
company. The equipment must also be installed
using an acceptable method of connection. The
customer should be aware that compliance with
the above conditions may not prevent
degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user
to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions,
may give the telecommunications company cause
to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that
the electrical ground connections of the power
utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water
pipe system, if present, are connected together.
This precaution may be particularly important in
rural areas
NOTE: Users should not attempt to make such
connections themselves, but should contact the
appropriate electric inspection authority,

Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit
not expressly approved by Gigaset Communications USA LLC could void the FCC authority to
operate the equipment. This includes the addition
of any external antenna device.
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC
rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA.
On the bottom of the base station is a label that
contains, among other information, a product
identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If
requested, this number must be provided to the

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.
The REN is used to determine the number of
devices that may be connected to a telephone
line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result
in the devices not ringing in response to an
incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of
RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of
the number of devices that may be connected to
a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact
the local telephone company. For products
approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the
format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point
(e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the
REN is separately shown on the label.

about what will disable alarm equipment, consult
your telephone company or a qualified installer.
This telephone system equipment has been
tested and found to comply with the limits for
Class B digital device, pursuant to 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.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. Some cordless telephones
operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby T V’s and VCR’s; to minimize or prevent such interference, the system base should
not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR; and, if
interference is experienced, moving the base farther away from theTV or VCR will often reduce or
eliminate the interference.
However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this telephone system does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the system off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the base station and receiver.
