We have designed your 900MHz Cordless
Phone with Call Waiting/Caller ID to conform
to federal regulations, and you can connect it
to most telephone lines. However, each
device, such as a telephone or answering
machine, that you connect to the telephone
line draws power from the telephone line. We
refer to this power draw as the device's
ringer equivalence number, or REN. The
REN is on the bottom of your phone.

To reduce the risk of fire or

This symbol is intended to alert
you to the presence of uninsu­lated dangerous voltage within
the product’s enclosure that might
be of sufficient magnitude to con­stitute a risk of electric shock. Do
not open the product’s case.

This symbol is intended to inform
you that important operating and
maintenance instructions are
included in the literature accom­panying this product.

!

If you use more than one phone or other
device on the line, add up all of the RENs. If
the total is more than five (three in rural
areas), your telephones might not ring. If
ringer operation is impaired, remove a device
from the line.

FCC STATEMENT

Your telephone complies with Part 68 of FCC
Rules. You must, upon request, provide the
FCC registration number and the REN to
your telephone company. Both numbers are
on the bottom of your telephone.

Note:

You must not connect your telephone

to:

• coin-operated systems

• party-line systems

• most electronic key telephone systems

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW

In the unlikely event that your phone causes
problems on the phone line, the phone
company can temporarily discontinue your
service. If this happens, the phone company
attempts to notify you in advance. If advance
notice is not practical, the phone company
notifies you as soon as possible and advises
you of your right to file a complaint with the
FCC.

Also, the phone company can make changes
to its lines, equipment, operations, or
procedures that could affect the operation of
this telephone. The telephone company
notifies you of these changes in advance, so

you can take the necessary steps to prevent
interruption of your telephone service.

LIGHTNING

Your telephone has built-in protection circuits
to reduce the risk of damage from surges in
telephone line and power line current. These
protection circuits meet or exceed the FCC
requirements. However, lightning striking the
telephone or power lines can damage your
telephone.

Lightning damage is not common.
Nevertheless, if you live in an area that has
severe electrical storms, we suggest that you
unplug your phone when storms approach to
reduce the possibility of damage.
