to make sure the battery is securely
connected.

4. Replace the battery cover and slide it
into place.

5. Use an AC adapter to connect the

Compliance Information

FCC Part 68 Information

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC
rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA.

On the boom of this equipment is a label that
contains, among other informaon, a product
idener in the format US: AAAEQ##TXXXX. If

requested, this number must be provided to the
phone company.

An applicable Universal Service Order Codes

(USOC) cercaon 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 compable modular
jack that is also compliant. See installaon
instrucons for details.

The 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. The REN for this product is

part of the product idener that has the format
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ##

are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a
REN of 0.3).

If this equipment causes harm to the telephone

network, the telephone company will nofy
you in advance that temporary disconnuance

of service may be required. But if advance

noce isn't praccal, the telephone company
will nofy 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. The telephone company may make

changes in its facilies, equipment, operaons
or procedures that could aect the operaon of

the equipment. If this happens the telephone

company will provide advance noce in order for
you to make necessary modicaons to maintain

uninterrupted service.

Please follow instrucons for repairing, if any
(e.g. baery replacement secon); otherwise do
not substute or repair any parts of the device
except as specied in this manual. Connecon
to party line service is subject to state taris.
Contact the state public ulity commission,
public service commission or corporaon
commission for informaon. This equipment is
hearing aid compable.

If you experience trouble with this equipment,
contact the manufacturer (see the cover of this

manual for contact informaon) or an authorized

agent. If the equipment is causing harm to the
telephone network, the telephone company may

request that you disconnect the equipment unl

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 quesons about

what will disable alarm equipment, contact your

telephone company or a qualied installer.
Any changes or modicaons 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
