ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS
SHOULD BE OBSERVED:

1. Use only the type and size of
battery(ies) specified in the user
manual.

2. Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in
fire. They may explode. Check with
local codes for possible special
disposal instructions.

3. Do not open or mutilate the
battery(ies). Released electrolyte is
corrosive and may cause damage to
the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if
swallowed.

4. Exercise care in handling battery(ies)
in order not to short out the
battery(ies) with conducting
materials such as rings, bracelets, and
keys. The battery(ies) or conductor
may overheat and cause burns.

5. Do not attempt to recharge the
battery(ies) provided with or
identified for use with this product
that are not intended to be charged.
The battery(ies) may leak corrosive
electrolyte or explode.

Important Safety Instructions 5

6. Do not attempt to rejuvenate the
battery(ies) provided with or
identified for use with this product
by heating them. Sudden release of
the battery(ies) electrolyte may
occur causing burns or irritation to
eyes or skin.

7. When replacing battery(ies), all
batteries should be replaced at the
same time. Mixing fresh and discharged
batteries could increase internal cell
pressure and rupture the discharged
battery(ies). (Applies to products
employing more than one separately
replaceable primary battery.)

8. When inserting battery(ies) into this
product, the proper polarity or
direction must be observed. Reverse
insertion of battery(ies) can cause
charging, and that may result in
leakage or explosion.

9. Remove battery(ies) from this
product if storing over 30 days
because the battery(ies) could leak
and damage the product.

10. Discard “dead” battery(ies) as soon
as possible since “dead“ batteries
are more likely to leak in a product.

11. Do not store this product, or the
battery(ies) provided with or
identified for use with this product, in
high-temperature areas. Batteries that
are stored in a freezer or refrigerator
for the purpose of extending shelf life
should be protected from
condensation during storage and
defrosting. Batteries should be
stabilized at room temperature prior
to use after cold storage.

12. If your product uses rechargeable
battery(ies), charge the battery(ies)
only in accordance with the
instructions and limitation specified
in the User Manual.

determined by the REN, you should
contact your local telephone company. 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.

20.3 Notes

• This equipment may not be used on
coin service provided by the telephone

• Party lines are subject to state tariffs,
and therefore, you may not be able to
use your own telephone equipment if
you are on a party line. Check with
your local telephone company.

• Notice must be given to the telephone
company upon permanent
disconnection of your telephone from
your line.

• If your home has specially wired alarm
equipment connected to the

20.5 Interference Information

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.
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 (that is, the antenna for radio
or television that is receiving the
interference).

• Reorient or relocate and increase the
separation between the
telecommunications equipment and
receiving antenna.

• Connect the telecommunications
equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the
receiving antenna is connected.

If these measures do not eliminate the
interference, please consult your dealer
or an experienced radio/television
technician for additional suggestions.

you may on occasion hear pulse noise
through the receiver. This is usually only
a minor annoyance and should not be
interpreted as a defect of the unit.
