INTERFERENCE INFORMATION: PART 15 OF FCC RULES
Some telephone equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy which if not properly
installed, may cause interference to radio and television reception.
This unit has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B computing device
in accordance with the specifications in Part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are
designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential
installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation.
If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, when it’s in use,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
A. Where it can be done safely, reorient the radio or TV receiving antenna.
B. To the extent possible, relocate the television, radio, or other receiver with respect to
the telephone equipment.
C. If your telephone product runs on AC power, plug your product into an AC outlet that’s
not on the same circuit as the one used by the radio or television.

FCC REGULATIONS
Warning: Modifying or tampering with the telephone's internal components can cause a
malfunction and might invalidate the telephone's warranty and void your FCC authorization
to operate it. If the trouble is harming the telephone lines, the telephone company might ask
you to disconnect the telephone until you have resolved the problem.
As it complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the technical requirements for connection
to telephone networks published by ACTA, your unit has been registered with the FCC.
The FCC requires us to provide you with the following information:
1. Connection and use with the nationwide telephone network:
The FCC requires that you connect to a nationwide telephone network through a modular
telephone outlet which is TIA/EIA-IS-968 compliant. It is USOC jack type RJ11C.
This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company.
Connection to party lines is subject to state tariffs. Check with your local telephone
company.
2. Notification to the telephone company:
FCC rules require that upon request you provide the following information to the phone
company.
A. The line (telephone number) to which you will connect the telephone equipment, and
B. The Registration Number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). These numbers
are found on the back or bottom of your telephone equipment.
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 telephone number is
called. In most, but not all areas, the sum all RENs should be 5 or less. To determine the
number of devices permitted in your area, contact your local telephone company.
3. Repair instructions:
If it is determined that your telephone equipment is malfunctioning, the FCC requires that
it not be used and be unplugged from the modular outlet until the problem has been
corrected. Repairs to this telephone equipment can be made only by the manufacturer or
its authorized agents, or by others who may be authorized by the FCC. Unauthorized
repairs void registration and warranty.

repairs void registration and warranty.
4. Rights of the telephone company:
If your product is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may
temporarily discontinue your service. If possible, they will notify you in advance. But if
advance notice isn’t practical, you will be notified as soon as possible.You will be given
the opportunity to correct the problem, and you will be informed of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC. Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities,
equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of your

TELEPHONE SETUP
Do the following:
•Choose the best location
•Connect the phone
•Choose the dialing mode
Where you place the phone affects the reception quality of the handset:
•Away from another cordless telephone
•Place the base near an AC electrical outlet and near telephone line jack
•Place the base away from metal walls and metal file cabinets
•Raise the base unit’s antenna making sure it points towards the ceiling
CAUTION: The cordless telephone operates at a frequency that may cause
interference to nearby TVs and VCRs; the base phone should not
be placed near, or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experi-
enced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or
VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.
Note: While the 2.4GHz frequency is inherently clearer, we suggest that
you do not use this phone within 20 feet of a working microwave.
The microwave produces frequencies in this range which may
cause interference. This interference is normal for all 2.4GHz
phones and should not be considered a product defect.
CHOOSING A LOCATION
Away from noise sources such as a
window by a street with heavy traffic
Away from VCRs and TV sets and
other electronic equipment
Away from heat sources, such as
radiators, air ducts, and sunlight
Away from a microwave oven
Away from excessive
moisture, extremely low
temperatures, dust,
mechanical vibration, or
shock
Away from a
personal computer
Near a central

Priority (VIP) Calls
You can assign stored numbers as preferred calls. When an incoming call is
matched to a stored number designated as preferred, the phone will generate a
special ring sound after caller ID information is received.
To mark a phone book entry as preferred, add a “#”mark at
the beginning of the name during programming or editing.
Blocked Calls
If you do not want to have the phone ring when a specific number calls, you can
store that number in the phone book and assigned it as blocked. When an
incoming call is matched to a stored number designated as blocked, the phone
will not ring after caller ID information is received.
To mark a phone book entry as blocked add a “*”mark at
the beginning of the name during programming or editing.
Note: Priority and Blocked calls will only work if the incoming call’s number
exactly matches the one that is stored in memory. If you dial seven digits
to call locally, make sure that your area code is set (see page 25-26).
