Registered with the FCC

Please note: This cordless telephone answering system operates under part 15 and
part 68 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to  two conditions: 1) It may not interfere
with radio communications, and 2) It must accept any interference received, includ-
ing that which may cause undesirable operation. See the Operational Features section
of this booklet for ways to reduce interference.
Your telephone company is required by the Federal Communications Commission to
allow you to connect FCC registered telephones to their lines.
The FCC requires you to provide information, if requested by the local telephone
company, about the connection of an  FCC registered telephone to their lines. They
may ask you for the FCC registration number and the ringer equivalence number
(REN), both of which are on the bottom of the base. They may also ask for the
Universal Service Order Code (USOC) number, which is RJ-11C.
It is illegal to use this phone on a party line or to connect it to a coin-operated
telephone.
