Important Safety Precautions
This symbol is intended to alert you to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the system’s enclosure that might be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock. Do not open the system’s case.
This symbol is intended to inform you that important operating and maintenance instructions are included in the literature accompanying the system.
Read and follow precautions when installing and using the Wireless Phone Jack System.
•Read and understand all instructions.
•Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the system and in this guide.
•Unplug this system from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
•Do not use this system near water; for example, near a bath tub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or in or near a swimming pool.
•This system should never be placed near or over a heat radiator or register. This system should not be placed in a built-in installation unless proper ventilation is provided.
•This system should only be operated from the type of power source indicated in this guide and on the system’s label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home or building, consult your local power company.
•Never spill liquid of any kind on the system.
•To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this system, but take it to a qualified service facility when service or repair is required.
•Opening or removing the covers might expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when the system is subsequently used.
•Unplug the system from the wall outlet and refer servicing to a qualified service facility under the following conditions:
A.When the AC plug is damaged.
B.If liquid has been spilled into the system.
C.If the system has been exposed to rain or water.
D.If the system does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.
E.If the system has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
F.If the system exhibits a distinct change in performance.
•Avoid using a telephone, other than a cordless phone, during an electrical storm. There is a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
•Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the area of the leak.
FCC Information
We designed your Wireless Phone Jack System to conform to federal regulations and you can connect it to most phone lines. However, each device you connect directly to the phone line draws power from it. This power draw is the device’s ringer equivalence number, or REN. The REN is shown on the base unit’s label.
If you connect more than one phone or other device directly to the phone line, add up all the RENs. If the total is more than five (or three in rural areas), your phones may not ring. If ringer operation is impaired, remove a device from the line. Your Wireless Phone Jack utilizes RJ-11 phone connectors.
Note: Your Wireless Phone Jack System has a REN of 0.1B, and so does not affect your phone’s ability to ring. Also, the phone you plug into the extension unit does not place any load on the telephone line. However, the phone you plug into the base unit does affect the total REN. If your Wireless Phone Jack System causes problems on the phone line, the telephone company can disconnect your service. The phone company tries to notify you in advance. If advance notice is not practical, the telephone company notifies you as soon as possible and advises you of your
right to file a complaint with the FCC.
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

FCC Part 68 & Class B Notices
Your Wireless Phone System complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules. You must, upon request, provide the FCC registration number and the REN to your telephone company. These numbers are shown on the label on the base unit.
This equipment complies with the limits for a Class B digital device as specified in Part 15 of FCC Rules.
These limits provide reasonable protection against radio and TV interference in a residential area.
However, your equipment might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating properly. To eliminate interference you can try one or more of the following corrective measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
•Increase the distance between the system and the radio or TV
•Use outlets on different electrical circuits for the equipment and the radio or TV
Read the Troubleshooting section of this manual for directions on remedying the problem.
Lightning
Your Wireless Phone Jack System has built-in protection circuits to reduce the risk of damage from surges in the telephone line. These protection circuits meet or exceed the FCC requirements. However, lightning striking the telephone or power lines can damage your system. Lightning damage is not common. Nevertheless, if you live in an area that has severe electrical storms, we
suggest that you unplug the system during storms to reduce the possibility of damage.
Important Notes On Operation
•Do not plug Phone Jacks into power strips or surge protectors.
•Phone Jack Extension does not operate during a power outage.
•Phone Jack System can only be used for single phone line.
•Be sure to plug Base unit (two jacks on side) in first before Extension unit (one jack on side).
•If you cannot get a dial tone, unplug both phone jacks and reset units following the section titled “Troubleshooting”on page 10.
•It is very important that directions are followed in order. In the event of a problem unplug both units, remove all cords and start again.
