IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)

1. If your local telephone exchange only accepts Pulse dialing, you may have to

switch the Tone/Pulse switch to Tone to access certain services that require Tone signalling (such as home banking). After the initial line is connected to the number you are calling, switch the Tone/Pulse switch to Tone to access Tone signalling. When you have completed your call, please switch the Tone/Pulse switch back to Pulse.

2. Hearing aid compatibility - Your telephone is compatible for use with hearing aids.

FCC and Phone Company Information

Your telephone company is required by the Federal Communications Commission to allow you to connect FCC registered telephones to their lines. The FCC requires you to provide information, if requested by the local telephone company, about the connection of an FCC registered telephone to their lines. They may ask you for the FCC registration number and the ringer equivalence number (REN); both are at the bottom of the base. They may also ask for the Universal Service Order Code (USOC), which is RJ-11C. The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices which may be connected to the telephone line. Excessive REN’s on the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the REN’s should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to the line, as determined by the total REN’s, contact the telephone company to determine the maximum REN for the calling area. Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the telephone network, the telephone company shall, where practical, 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; (3) inform you of your right to bring a complaint to the Commission pursuant to procedures set forth in Part 68 of FCC Rules and Regulations. The telephone company may make changes in its communication facilities, equipment operations or procedures where such action is required in the operation of its business and not consistent with FCC Rules and Regulations. If these changes are expected to affect the use of performance of your telephone equipment, the telephone company must give you adequate notice in writing, to allow you to maintain uninterrupted service. This equipment cannot be used on telephone company provided coin service. Connection to Party Line Service is subject to state tariffs. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by (state party responsible for compliance) can void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

this product by heating them. Sudden release of the battery electrolyte may occur causing burns or irritation to eyes or skin.

7. When replacing batteries, all batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing

fresh and discharged batteries could increase internal cell pressure and rupture the discharged battery(ies). (Applies to products employing more than one separately replaceable primary battery.)

8. When inserting batteries into this product, the proper polarity or direction must be

observed. Reverse insertion of batteries can cause charging, and that may result in leakage or explosion. (Applies to product employing more than one separately replaceable primary battery).

9. Remove the battery from this product if the product will not be used for a long period

of time (several months or more) since during this time the battery could leak in the product.

10. Discard "dead" battery as soon as possible since "dead" batteries are more likely to

leak in a product.

11. Do not store this product, or the battery provided with or identified for use with this

product in high-temperature areas. Batteries that are stored in a freezer or refrigerator for the purpose of extending shelf life should be protected from condensation during storage and defrosting. Batteries should be stabilized at room temperature prior to use after cold storage.
