READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION
We have designed your phone to conform to federal regulations, and you can
connect it to most telep hone li nes. How ever, each device that you connect to
the phone line draws power from the
phone line. We refer to this p ower draw
as the device's ringer equivalenc e number, or REN. The REN is on the bott om
of the base. If you are using more than
one phone or other device on the line,
add up all the REN s. If the total i s more
than five (three in rural areas), your
phones might not ring. If ringer operation
is impaired, remove a device from the
line.
FCC STATEMENT
Your phone complies with Part 68 of
FCC Rules. You must, upon request,
provide the FCC registration number
and the REN to your phone company.
These numbers are on the bottom of the
base.
You must not connect your phone to any
of the foll owing:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key phone systems
Your telephone oper ates on st an-
Note:
dard radio frequencies, as allocated by
the FCC. Even though the security access-protection code prevents unauthorized use of your phone line, it is
possible for radios operating on similar
frequencies within a certain area to unintentionally intercept your conversations
and/or cause interference. This lack of
privacy can occur with any cordless
phone.
