NFORMATION
Your telephone equipment is approved for connection to the Public
Switched Telephone Network and is in compliance with parts 15 and 68,
FCC Rules and Regulations and the Technical Requirements for Telephone
Terminal Equipment published by ACTA.
1 Notification to the Local Telephone Company
On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other
information, the US number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for
the equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to
your telephone company.
The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you may
connect to your telephone line and still have all of these devices ring
when your telephone number is called. In most (but not all) areas, the
sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line should not exceed
5. To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line
as determined by the REN, you should contact your local telephone
company.
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.

YSTEM
Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to protect against
false ringing, unauthorized access, and charges to your phone line.
When you place the handset in the base, the unit verifies its security
code. After power outage or battery replacement, you should place the
handset in the base for about 20 seconds to reset the code.
INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at
frequencies that may cause or receive interference with TVs,
microwave ovens, and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such
interference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed
near or on top of a TV, microwave ovens, or VCR. If such interference
continues, move the cordless telephone farther away from these
appliances. Certain other communications devices may also use the
5.8 GHz frequency for communication, and, if not properly set, these
devices may interfere with each other and/or your new telephone. If
you are concerned with interference, please refer to the User’s Guide
for these devices on how to properly set channels to avoid
interference. Typical devices that may use the 5.8 GHz frequency for
communication include wireless audio/video senders, wireless
computer networks, multi-handset cordless telephone systems, and
some long-range cordless telephone systems.
