Base Unit Location/Noise

Calls are transmitted between the base unit and the handset using
wireless radio waves. For maximum distance and noise-free
operation, the recommended base unit location is:

Away from electrical appliances
such as a TV, personal computer

In a HIGH and CENTRAL location

with no obstructions such as walls.

For best performance, extend the handset

antenna fully.

•If the antenna is only extended half-way,
better operating range is not available.

Note:

While using the handset;

•If you are near a microwave oven which is being used, noise may be heard from
the receiver or the speaker. Move away from the microwave oven and closer to
the base unit.

•If more than one cordless phone is being used and your handset is near another
cordless phone’s base unit, noise may be heard. Move away from the other

cordless phone’s base unit and closer to your base unit.

FCC and Other Information

If requested by the telephone company, inform them as follows:

FCC Registration No.............................................(found on the bottom of the unit)

Ringer Equivalence

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
telephone tine and still have all 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.

......................................................................

....................

0.1B

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
before hanging up.

2. Perform such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early morning hours or
late evenings.

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.

Privacy of communications may not be ensured when using this phone.

66

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 В
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.

Operating near 2.4GHz electrical appliances may cause interference. Move away

from the electrical appliances and/or press the CH (Channel) button.

(radio frequency) energy. (The unit operates in the frequency range of
2401MHz to 2472MHz, and the power output level can range from 0.001 watts
to 0.20 watts.) Do not use the unit in health care facilities if any regulations
posted in the area instruct you not to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities

may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF (radio

frequency) energy.

• Routine care — wipe the unit with a soft cloth. Do not use benzine, thinner, or
any abrasive powder. When you leave the unit unused for a long period of time,

unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet.
