If requested by the telephone company, inform them as follows:
FCC Registration No
The particular telephone line to which the equipment is connected.
This unit must not be connected to a coin operated line.
If you are on a party line, check with your local telephone company.
Ringer Equivalence No. (REN):
The REN is useful in determining the quantity of devices you may connect to your
teiephone line and stiil have ail of those devices ring when your telephone number
is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the REN's of all devices connected
to one line should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices you
may connect to your line, as determined by the REN, you should contact your local
telephone company to determine the maximum REN for your calling area.
In the event terminal equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the
telephone company should notify the customer, if possible, that service may be
stopped.
However, where prior notice is impractical, the company may temporarily cease
service providing that they:
(a) Promptly notify the customer.
(b) Give the customer an opportunity to correct the problem with their equipment.
(c) Inform the customer of the right to bring a complaint to the Federal
Communication Commission pursuant to procedures set out in FCC Rules and
Regulations Subpart E of Part 68.
The Telephone Company may make changes in its communications facilities,
equipment, operations or procedures, where such action is reasonably required in
the operation of its business and is not inconsistent with the rules and regulations
in FCC Part 68.
If such changes can be reasonably expected to render any customer terminal
equipment incompatible with telephone company communications facilities, or
require modification or alteration of such terminal equipment, or otherwise
materially affect its use or performance, the customer shall be given adequate
notice in writing, to allow the customer an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted
service.
When programming emergency numbers and/or making test calls to emergency
numbers:
1. Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call

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.
CAUTION:
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this device.
Note:
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 or more 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.
Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to
nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, the base of the
cordless telephone should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR. If
interference is experienced, move the cordless telephone further away from the TV
or VCR. This will often reduce or eliminate interference.
Privacy of communications may not be ensured when using this phone.
