Installing a Line Filter or DSL Filter

A telephone line lter or DSL lter prevents services that use the phone line from
causing interference on your phone. To get a line lter, contact your service pro­vider or look in an electronics store.

Plug the lter into the telephone wall jack and plug the base into the lter. Make a
test call to make sure the noise is gone.

Liquid Damage

CAUTION: If the base is covered in liquid, disconnect the adapter & phone
cord from the wall before touching it.

If the liquid is only on t he exterior housing of the base or handset, wipe it o and
use as normal. If you can hear liquid inside the housing:

1. Remove all compartment covers, and disconnect all cables and cords.

2. If liquid is leaking from any vent or hole, turn the phone so that vent faces
down. If not, place the largest vent face down.

3. Let dry for at least 3 days. Check for liquid inside the phone before replacing
compartment covers & reconnecting cords.

Compliance Information

FCC Part 68 Information

is equipment complies with Part
68 of the FCC rules and the require­ments adopted by the ACTA. On the
bottom of this equipment is a label that
contains, among other information,
a product identier in the format US:
AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this
number must be provided to the phone
company.

An applicable Universal Serv ice
Order Codes (USOC) certication for
the jacks used in this equipment is
provided (i.e., RJ11C) in the packaging
with each piece of approved terminal
equipment. 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.

e REN is used to determine the
number of devices that may be con­nected to a phone line. Excessive RENs
on a phone line may result in devices
not ringing in response to an incom­ing call. In most but not all areas, the
sum of RENs should not exceed ve
(5.0). To be certain of the number of
devices that may be connected to a
line, as determined by the total RENs,
contact the telephone provider. e
REN for this product is part of the
product identier that has the format
US:AAAEQ##TXX XX. e digits rep­resented by ## are the REN without a
decimal point (e.g., 03 is a R EN of 0.3).

If this equipment causes harm to the
telephone network, the telephone com­pany will notify you in advance that
temporary discontinuance of service
may be required. But if advance notice
isn't practical, the telephone company
will notify the customer as soon as
possible. Also, you will be advised of
your right to le a complaint with the
FCC if you believe it is necessary. e
telephone company may make changes
in its facilities, equipment, operations
or procedures that could aect the
operation of the equipment. If this
happens the telephone company will
provide advance notice in order for
you to make necessary modications
to maintain uninterrupted service.

Please follow instructions for repair­ing, if any (e.g. battery replacement
section); otherwise do not substitute or
repair any parts of the dev ice except as

specied in this manual. Connection
to party line service is subject to state
taris. Contact the state public utility
commission, public service commis­sion or corporation commission for
information. is equipment is hear­ing aid compatible.

If you experience trouble with this
equipment, contact the manufac­turer (see the cover of this manual for
contact information) or an authorized
agent. If the equipment is causing
harm to the telephone net work, the
telephone company may request that
you disconnect the equipment until
the problem is resolved.

If your home has wired alarm equip­ment connected to a phone line, be sure
that installing the system does not dis­able your alarm equipment. If you have
questions about what will disable alarm
equipment, contact your telephone
company or a qualied installer.

Any changes or modications to this
product not expressly approved by the
manufacturer or other party respon­sible for compliance could void your
authority to operate this product.

NOTICE: According to telephone
company reports, AC electrical surges,
typically resulting from lightning
strikes, are very destructive to tele­phone equipment connected to AC
power sources. To minimize damage
from these types of surges, a surge ar­restor is recommended.
