UNCONTROLLED

DOCUMENT

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 located on the FCC/IC label on the telephone base unit.
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 telecommunications company’s inside wiring
associated with a single line individual service may be
extended by means of a certified connector assembly
(telephone extension cord). You should be aware that
compliance with the above conditions may not prevent
degradation of service in some situations.

The plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the
premises wiring and telephone network must comply with
the rules and requirements in Industry Canada’s CS-03. 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.

connected together. This precaution may be particularly
important in rural areas.

You should not attempt to make such connections
yourself. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection
authority or an electrician, as appropriate.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.

Repairs

Repairs to this equipment should be made by an
authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by
Motorola. Any repairs or alterations made by the
consumer, or any malfunctions of this equipment, may give
the telecommunications company cause to request that
you disconnect the equipment, and may void the limited
warranty.

Privacy

Privacy of communications may not be ensured when
using this telephone. Other devices, including other
cordless telephones, may interfere with the operation of
this cordless phone or cause noise during operation. Units
without code access may be accessed by other radio
communications devices.
