or irritation to eyes or skin.

7. When inserting the battery into this

product, the proper polarity or

direction must be observed. Reverse

insertion of batteries can cause

charging that may result in leakage or

explosion.

8. Do not store this product, or the

battery provided with or identified

for use with this product, in high-

FCC NOTICE

The FCC requires that you be advised of

certain requirements involving the use of

this telephone.

1. This equipment complies with Part

68 of the FCC rules. A label on the

BASE UNIT of this equipment

36882 English I/B ver. 11202A-1

11202A-1 6

OWNER’S MANUAL # 36882 ver. 11202A-1

Page : 6 ENGLISH VERSION

contains, among other information, the

ACTA product number and the Ringer

Equivalence Number (REN) for this

equipment. You must, upon request,

provide this information to your

telephone company.

2. The REN is useful to determine the

quantity of devices you may connect to

your telephone line and still have all of

those devices ring when your number is

called. In most, but not all areas, the

sum of the RENs of all devices should

not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of

the number of devices you may connect

to your line, as determined by the REN,

you should call your local telephone

company to determine the maximum

REN for your calling area.

3. If your telephone causes harm to the

telephone network, the telephone

company may discontinue your service

temporarily. If possible, they will notify

you in advance. But if advance notice is

not practical, you will be notified as

soon as possible. You will be advised

of your right to file a complaint with the

FCC.

4. Your telephone company may make

changes to its facilities, equipment,

operations or procedures that could

affect the proper operation of your

equipment. If they do, you will be

given advance notice so as to give

you an opportunity to maintain

uninterrupted service.

5. If you experience trouble with the

telephone, please contact

Northwestern Bell Phones for

repair/warranty information. The

telephone company may ask you to

disconnect this equipment from the

network until the problem has been

corrected or you are sure that the

equipment is not malfunctioning.

6. This equipment may not be used

on coin service provided by the

telephone company. Connection

to party lines is subject to state

tariffs. (Contact your state

public utility commission or

corporation commission for

information.)

AC ADAPTOR: Use only with Class 2 Power Source, 9VDC output, 350mA.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to

the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful

interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,

including interference that may cause undesired operation. Privacy o

communications may not be insured when using this phone.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved in writing to party responsi-

ble for its compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

Some cordless phones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to

nearby TVs and VCRs; to minimize or prevent such interference, the base o

the cordless phone should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR; and,

if interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther awa

from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.

Note: 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. 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 to 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 on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

-- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

CALLER ID Q&A

Caller ID devices allow you to take advantage of the Caller Identification

Delivery service offered by your local telephone company. For more

information, you can refer to the following Questions and Answers table:

Questions Answers

What is Caller

ID?

A Caller ID is a device that identifies the calling party

before you answer a call. This device can be used to

screen unwanted calls and eliminate harassment from

annoying calls.

How does

Caller ID

work?

When used with Caller ID service, the Caller ID device

displays the name (if available), and the phone number

(if available) of the person calling before you pick up

your telephone.

Who provides

Caller ID

service?

Your local telephone company. However, not all local

telephone companies provide Caller ID service. Please

call your local phone company to confirm that the

service is available before you install the Caller ID.

How can I

activate my

Caller ID?

For your Caller ID unit to function, you must first

arrange with your local telephone company to have

Caller ID service installed on your line. There is an

extra charge added to your monthly telephone bill for

this service. Before using your Caller ID device,

please read this instruction manual carefully.
