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

FCC and Interference Information

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 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.

•

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, where practicable, notify you that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. Where prior notice is not practical and 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,

FCC and Interference Information

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:

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

FCC and Interference Information

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.

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.

Hearing Aid Compatibility

This telephone system meets the FCC standards for hearing aid compatibility.
