INSTALLATION
We have designed your phone to con-
form to federal regulations, and you can
connect it to most telephone lines. How-
ever, each device that you connect to
the phone line draws power from the
phone line. We refer to this power draw
as the device’s ringer equivalence num-
ber, or REN. The REN is on the bottom
of the base. 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 (three in rural areas), your
phones might not ring. If ringer operation
is impaired, remove a device from the
line.
FCC STATEMENT
Your TAD-729 complies with Part 68 of
FCC Rules. You must, upon request,
provide the FCC registration number
and the REN to your phone company.
These numbers are on the bottom of the
base.
You must not connect your phone to any
of the following:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key phone systems
Note: Your telephone operates on stan-
dard radio frequencies, as allocated by
the FCC. Even though the security ac-
cess-protection code prevents unautho-
rized use of your phone line, it is
possible for other radio units operating
on similar frequencies within a certain
area to unintentionally intercept your
conversations and/or cause interfer-
ence. This lack of privacy can occur with
any cordless phone.
