On the bottom of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the form US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. You must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone company.

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

FCC and Interference Information

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.

•

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, where practicable, notify you that temporary discontinuance of service may be required.

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.

FCC and Interference Information

Interference Information

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference.

2. 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 with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio 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

FCC and Interference Information

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.

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.

FCC and Interference Information

Industry Canada (IC) Information

This equipment meets the applicable Industry Canada (IC) radio and terminal equipment technical specifications. This is confirmed by the certification/registration number found on the label on the bottom of the base unit. The abbreviation IC before the certification/registration number only signifies that registration was performed based on a Declaration of Conformity and that the Industry Canada technical specifications were met. It does not imply that Industry Canada approved the equipment. The term “IC:” before the certification/ registration number only signifies that the Industry Canada technical specifications were met. The Ringer Equivalency Number (REN) for this equipment is 0.6. The REN is useful in determining the maximum number of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have all of these devices ring when your telephone number is called. The sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line may not exceed 5. Before installing this cordless phone, you should make sure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must be installed using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the

You can change the name to something more useful, for example a location (Kitchen) or someone’s name (Susan). Naming an expansion handset makes it easy to select the handset from a list (for example, to intercom another handset).

If you name an expansion handset, the handset number remains part of the name, for example, Kitchen(2).

Storing Area Codes for Caller ID

Setting Up Your Phone and Expansion Handsets

Note: This section applies only if you subscribe to caller ID service from your local phone company.

You can store up to 5 area codes to make it easy to dial numbers from your list of caller ID calls. Each area code can be:

• 7-digit format

You do not have to dial the area code to call numbers in this area code.

•10-digit format

You have to dial the 3-digit area code + 7-digit phone number to call numbers in this area code.

•11-digit format

You have to dial the 1 + 3-digit area code + 7-digit phone number to call numbers in this area code.

For example, if you store area code 954 in 10-digit format, when you receive a call from that area code, the phone number is stored in your call list with all 10 digits. The number will then be in the correct format for you to dial directly from the call list without any reformatting.

Action

Press MENU (a).

Scroll to Loc area code and press SELECT (a).

Enter the first area code.

Press FORMAT (a) to scroll through the formats. Stop at the format you want to set for the area code, then scroll down (c) to move to the next area code.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 to store up to 4 more area codes. When you are finished, press DONE (

a).

Press EXIT (a) to return to the standby screen, or c to scroll to a different menu option.
