complies with regulations RSS-210 and CS03 of Industry Canada (IC).
A label is located on the underside of the base
unit containing either the FCC registration
number and Ringer Equivalence Number
(REN) or the IC registration number and Load
Number. You must, upon request, provide this
information to your local telephone company.
This equipment is compatible with inductively
coupled hearing aids.
FCC Part 15
Warning:Changes or modifications to this unit
not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate
the equipment.
The equipment has been tested and found to
comply with part 15 of the FCC 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 and correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
* Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
* Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
* Connect the equipment into an outlet or on a
circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
* Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/
TV technician for help.
FCC Part 68
The FCC requires that you connect your
cordless telephone to the nationwide telephone
network through a modular telephone jack
(USOC RJ11C or RJ11W).
Your telephone company may discontinue your
service if your equipment causes harm to the
telephone network. They will notify you in
advance of disconnection, if possible. During
notification, you will be informed of your right to
file a complaint with the FCC.
If it is determined that your telephone equipment
