We have designed your phone to conform to
federal regulations, and you can connect it to
most telephone lines. However, each phone
and 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.
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.
Important:
one require AC power to operate. When the
AC power is off, you cannot dial out or receive incoming calls using your cordless
phone. For this reason, this phone should
not be your only telephone. To be safe, you
should also have a phone that does not require AC power to operate (not a cordless
phone) so you can still make and receive
calls if there is an AC power failure.
Some cordless phones operate at frequencies that might cause interference to nearby
TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such
interference, the base of the cordless phone
should not be placed near or on top of a TV
or VCR.

Important Information
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
This equipment has been tested and found
to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
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:

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

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.
• 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 your local RadioShack store or
an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the
FCC requires that you stop using your cordless phone.
In the unlikely event that this 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
