• 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.

• Afford you the opportun ity to correct the situation
54

Interference Information
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
This device may not cause harmful interference.
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 fre quency energy and, if not installed

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
