IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Your Model 800 has been carefully designed to give you years
of safe, reliable performance. As with all electrical equipment,
however, there are a few basic precautions you should take to
avoid hurting yourself or damaging the unit:
• Read the installation and operating instructions in this
manual carefully. Be sure to save it for future reference.
• Read and follow all warning and instruction labels on the
product itself.
• To protect the Model 800 from overheating, make sure all
openings on the unit are not blocked. Do not place on or
near a heat source, such as a radiator or heat register.
• Do not use your Model 800 near water, or spill liquid of any
kind into it.
• Be certain that your power source matches the rating listed
on the AC power transformer. If you’re not sure of the type
of power supply to your facility, consult your dealer or local
power company.
• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not
locate this product where the cord will be abused by persons
walking on it.
• Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this can
result in the risk of fire or electric shock.
• Never push objects of any kind into this product through
ventilation holes as they may touch dangerous voltage points
or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electric
shock.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble
this product, but return it to Sensaphone Customer Service,
or other approved repair facility, when any service or
repair work is required. Opening or removing covers may
expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect
reassembly can cause electric shock when the unit is
subsequently used.
• If anything happens that indicates that your Model 800
is not working properly or has been damaged, unplug it
immediately and follow the procedures in Appendix F for
having it serviced. Return the unit for servicing under the
following conditions:
iii

1. The power cord or plug is frayed or damaged.
2. Liquid has been spilled into the product or it has been
exposed to water.
3. The unit has been dropped, or the cabinet is damaged.
4. The unit doesn’t function normally when you’re
following the operating instructions.
• Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during
an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric
shock from lightning.
• Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity
of the leak.
CAUTION
To Reduce the Risk of Fire or Injury to Persons, Read and Follow
these Instructions:
1. Use only the following type and size batteries:
Alkaline, size C.
2. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. The cell may
explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal
instructions.
3. Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte is
corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be
toxic if swallowed.
4. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the
battery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and
keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause burns.
5. Do not mix old and new batteries in this product.

FCC Requirements
Part 68: The Sensaphone® Model 800 complies with Part 68 of the
FCC rules. On the back of the unit there is a label that contains,
among other information, the FCC Registration Number and the
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. You must,
upon request, provide this information to your local telephone
company.
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices that 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 of the RENs of all devices connected to
one line should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number
of devices that you may connect to your line, you may want to
contact your local telephone company to determine the maximum
REN for your calling area.
This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the
telephone company. Connection to party lines is subject to state
tariffs.
Should the Model 800 cause 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 isn’t practical, the telephone company may temporarily
discontinue service without notice and you will be notified as
soon as possible. You will be informed of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC. The telephone company may make
changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures
where such action is reasonably required in the operation of its
business and is not inconsistent with the rules and regulations
of the FCC that could affect the proper functioning of your
equipment. If they do, you will be notified in advance to give you
an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted telephone service.
If you experience trouble with this equipment, or you need
information on obtaining service or repairs, please contact:
PHONETICS, INC.
901 Tryens Road, Aston, PA 19014
610-558-2700 Fax: [phone]
The telephone company may ask that you disconnect this
equipment from the network until the problem has been corrected
or until you are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning.
v

Part 15: 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 the
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/television
technician for help.

Canadian Department of Communications Statement
Notice: The Canadian Department of Communications label
identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the
equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective
operational and safety requirements. The Department does not
guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it
is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local
telecommunications company. The equipment must also be
installed using an acceptable method of connection. In some
cases, where the company’s inside wiring is associated with
a single line, individual service may be extended by means
of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord).
The customer should be aware that compliance with the above
conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some
situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized
Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any
repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or
equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications
company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical
ground connections of the power utility telephone lines and
internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected
together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural
areas.
CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such connections
themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection
authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
The Load Number (LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes
the percentage of the total load to be connected to a telephone
loop which is used by the device to prevent overloading. The
termination on loop may consist of any combination of devices
subject only to the requirement that the total of the Load Numbers
of all the devices does not exceed 100. For the Sensaphone®
Model 800, the Load Number is 0.3.
