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.
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.

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
MD7260 User Guide
vi
the line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the telephone company.
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 premise’s 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 may request that you disconnect the equipment from the network until the
problem is solved.

under the following conditions:
• When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
• If liquid has been spilled onto the product.
• If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions, as improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and often requires extensive work
by an authorized technician to restore the product to normal operation.
• If the product has been dropped and the base and/or handset has been damaged.
• If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.
14. Avoid using a telephone (other than cordless) during an electrical storm. There is a remote
risk of electric shock from lightning.
MD7260 User Guide

Outgoing Messages and Announcements Overview
You can record both an outgoing message and an announce-only message.
• Use the normal greeting when you want the system to record messages from callers.
• Use an announce-only greeting when you want to give information to callers, but you
do not wish to accept messages.
NOTE: If you choose not to record your own greetings, the system provides pre-recorded
messages. The normal pre-recorded greeting says:
"Please leave your message after the beep.”
The pre-recorded announce-only message says:
"I am sorry I am not available. Please call back later.”

Recording Your Greeting
If you assign different mailboxes to different people, be sure to tell callers in your
announcement to press star plus the number (e.g., *1, *2, or *3) to leave their message in

For example, "Thank you for calling. To leave a message for Karen, press *1 now; to leave a
message for Chad, press *2 now; to leave a message for Sires, press *3 now; or, just wait
for the beep."
Remember to leave a few seconds at the end of your greeting to allow callers enough time
to select a mailbox. The caller must select a mailbox before the message ends or their
message is automatically left in mailbox 1.
