FCC Information
FCC Compliance Class B Digital Device
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 off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Motorola for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
MD7151 User Guide
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, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
FCC Declaration of Conformity
Motorola, Inc., Connected Home Solutions, 101 Tournament Drive, Horsham, PA 19044,
1-215-323-1000, declares that this cordless phone complies with 47 CFR Parts 2 and 15 of the FCC Rules as
Class B digital devices.
Canadian Compliance
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003. Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Part 68 Statement
This Motorola cordless phone complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the
Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA). On the bottom of this equipment is a label that
contains, among other information, a product identifier in format US: AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this
information must be provided to the telephone company.
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected
to the telephone line. Excessive RENs 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 RENs 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 RENs,
contact the telephone company.
MD7151 User Guide
vii
viii
For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has
the format US: AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03
is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.
This equipment uses the following USOC jack: RJ11C. A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to
the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the 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.
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 this equipment causes harm to the
telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that the temporary discontinuance of
services may be required. If advance notice is not practical, the telephone company will notify the customer
as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is
necessary.
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.
If trouble is experienced with this equipment, for repair or warranty information, please contact Motorola,
Inc. at 1-877-466-8646. If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company
MD7151 User Guide
may request that you disconnect the equipment from the network until the problem is solved.
This equipment is hearing aid compatible.
