INSTALLATION
Your telephone conforms to federal
regulations, and you can connect it to
most telephone lines. However, each
device you connect to the phone line
draws power from the phone line. We
refer to this power draw as the de-
vice’s ringer equivalence number, or
REN. The REN is on the label on the
base’s back.
If you are using more than one phone
or other device on the line, add up all
the RENs. If the total is more than
five, your phone might not ring. In ru-
ral areas, a total REN of three might
impair ringer operation. If ringer op-
eration is impaired, remove a device
from the line.
FCC STATEMENT
This telephone complies with Part 68
of
FCC Rules. You must, upon re-
quest, provide the FCC Registration
Number and the REN to your phone
company. These numbers are on the
label on the base’s back.
You must not connect your phone to
any of the following:
• Coin-operated systems
• Party-line systems
• Most electronic key phone sys-
tems
Note: Your telephone operates on
standard radio frequencies, as allo-
cated by the FCC. Even though the
access protection code prevents un-
authorized use of your phone line, it
is possible for other radio units oper-
ating on similar frequencies within a
certain area to unintentionally inter-
cept your conversations and/or
cause interference. This lack of pri-
vacy can occur with any cordless
phone.
