FCC Information
This equipment complies with Parts 15 and 68 of the
FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the
Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments
(ACTA).
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the
premises wiring and telephone network must comply
with 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.
Notification of Local Telephone Company
On the bottom of this equipment is a label that contains,
among other information, a product identifier in the form
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. You must, upon request, provide
this information to your telephone company.
The digits represented by ## in the product identifier
indicate the Ringer Equivalency Number (REN) for this
equipment. 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, contact your local telephone company.

provided by the telephone company.

FCC Info
Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs.
Contact the state public utility commission, public
service commission or corporation commission for
information.
If your home has specially wired alarm equipment
connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation
of this cordless phone does not disable your alarm
equipment. If you have questions about what will
disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone
company or a qualified installer.
Notice must be given to the telephone company upon
permanent disconnection of your telephone from your
line. The FCC requires that you connect your cordless
telephone to the nationwide telephone network through
a modular telephone jack (USOC RJ11C/RJ11W or
RJ14C/RJ14W).
Rights of the Telephone Company
Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which
may harm the telephone network, the telephone
company shall, where practicable, notify you that
temporary discontinuance of service may be required.
Where prior notice is not practical and the
circumstances warrant such action, the telephone
company may temporarily disconnect service
immediately. In case of such temporary discontinuance,
the telephone company must:
•Promptly notify you of such temporary
discontinuance
•Afford you the opportunity to correct the situation

•Inform you of your right to bring a complaint to the
Commission pursuant to procedures set forth in
Subpart E of Part 68, FCC Rules and Regulations.
The telephone company may make changes in its
facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that
could affect the operation of the equipment. If this
happens, the telephone company will provide advance
notice in order for you to make necessary modifications
to maintain uninterrupted service.
Interference Information
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
•This device may not cause harmful interference.
•This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
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.

DRAFT
FCC Info
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment on and off, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference with one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna (that is,
the antenna for the radio or television that is
"receiving" the interference).
• Reorient or relocate and increase the separation
between the telecommunications equipment and
the receiving antenna.
• Connect the telecommunications equipment into
an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiving antenna is connected.
If these measures do not eliminate the interference,
please consult your dealer or an experienced radio/
television technician for additional suggestions. Also,
the Federal Communications Commission has prepared
a helpful booklet, "How to Identify and Resolve Radio/
TV Interference Problems."
The FCC requires this product to be serviced only by
Motorola or its authorized service agents.
CAUTION / WARNING: Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by Motorola could void not only the
user's authority to operate the equipment, but also the
limited warranty.
