FCC and Interference Information
This equipment complies with Parts 15 and 68 of the FCC rules
and the requirements adopted by the Administrative Council for
Terminal Attachments (ACTA).
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises
wiring and telephone network must comply with 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.
Notification of the Local Telephone Company
On the bottom of this equipment is a label that contains, among
other information, a product identifier in the form
FCC and Interference
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. You must, upon request, provide this
information to your telephone company.
6
The digits represented by ## in the product identifier indicate
the Ringer Equivalency Number (REN) for this equipment. 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, contact your local telephone company.
Notes:
• This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by
the telephone company.
• Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs.
Contact the state public utility commission, public service
commission or corporation commission for information.
FCC and Interference

• If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected
to the telephone line, ensure the installation of this cordless
phone does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have
questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult
your telephone company or a qualified installer.
• Notice must be given to the telephone company upon
permanent disconnection of your telephone from your line.
• The FCC requires that you connect your cordless telephone
to the nationwide telephone network through a modular
telephone jack (USOC RJ11C/RJ11W or RJ14C/RJ14W).
Rights of the Telephone Company
Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may
harm the telephone network, the telephone company shall,
FCC and Interference
where practicable, notify you that temporary discontinuance of
service may be required. Where prior notice is not practical and
8
the circumstances warrant such action, the telephone
company may temporarily disconnect 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 Subpart E of
Part 68, FCC Rules and Regulations.
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities,
equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the
operation of the equipment. If this happens, the telephone
company will provide advance notice in order for you to make
necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.

Interference Information
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful interference; and
• This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
FCC and Interference
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
10
communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio
or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment on and off, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference with one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna (that is, the
antenna for the radio or television that is “receiving” the
interference).
• Reorient or relocate and increase the separation between the
telecommunications equipment and the receiving antenna.
• Connect the telecommunications equipment into an outlet on
a circuit different from that to which the receiving antenna is
connected.
11
FCC and Interference
If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please
consult your dealer or an experienced radio/television
technician for additional suggestions. Also, the Federal
Communications Commission has prepared a helpful booklet,
“How to Identify and Resolve Radio/TV Interference Problems.”
This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing
Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. Please specify stock number
004-000-00345-4 when ordering copies.
The FCC requires this product to be serviced only by Motorola
or its authorized service agents. Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by Motorola could void not only the user's
authority to operate the equipment, but also the limited
warranty.
