INSTALLATION AND PRECAUTIONS
For best performance of your Aura Professional UC™ Conference Phone,
please follow these recommendations:
• To avoid electromagnetic interference, keep the Aura Professional UC™
15’ (5m) away from:
1 – High powered electrical sources, such as generators or high
voltage/ power transformers
2 – Electrical distribution boxes
3 – Electrical switch panels
• To prevent microphone issues which would negatively aect the duplex
feature (which allows you to speak and hear at the same time), position
Aura Professional UC™ away from ultrasonic-type motion detectors and
occupancy sensor/switches.
• Avoid areas with high levels of background noise. The microphone(s)
might pick up extraneous sounds and prevent the conference phone
from going into receiving mode when you have finished talking.
• Avoid placing the phone where it would be subject to vibration.
• Place the unit on an even surface. Avoid locating it in a corner, under
a cabinet or next to a cabinet. Those kinds of locations will create an
echo eect.
• Keep objects 24”(60cm) away from the conference phone.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of personal injury, fire, or damage, use only the
supplied power adapter.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION STATEMENT
Interference Statement
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation of this device 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.
NOTE: This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device
pursuant to Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commissions Rules and Regulations. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated
in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, 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 o 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 device and the receiver.
• Connect the device into an outlet on a circuit dierent from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
RF Exposure warning
This equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with provided instructions and the
antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separating distance of at least 20
cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna
or transmitter. End users and installers must be provided with antenna installation instructions and
transmitter operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance.
Part 68 Information
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On
the underside of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in
the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company.
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must
comply with the 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.
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is used to determine the number of devices that may be
connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing
in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0).
To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs,
contact the local telephone company. The REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has
the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g.,
03 is a REN of 0.3).
If the Aura Professional™ Conference Phone causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone
company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if
advance notice isn’t practical, the telephone company will notify you as soon as possible. Also, you will
be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that
could aect the operation of this equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will provide advance
notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.
The Aura Professional™ Conference Phone is not intended to be repaired by the user. If you experience
any trouble with your Aura Professional™ Conference Phone, please contact Spracht at [phone],
or at www.spracht.com for repair and/or warranty information. If the equipment is causing harm to the
telephone network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the
problem is resolved.

18
Connection to party line service is subject to state taris. 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 the Aura Professional™ Conference 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.
NOTE: It is highly recommended that the AC Adapter be plugged in to a surge arrestor, rather than
directly into the wall plug. Telephone companies report that electrical surges, typically lightning transients,
are very destructive to customer terminal equipment connected to AC power sources. This has been
identified as a major nationwide problem.
