This symbol is intended to alert you to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the product’s enclosure that
might be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock. Do not open the product’s case.

This symbol is intended to inform you that important operating and maintenance instructions are included in the literature
accompanying this product.

Important: Cordless phones such as this one require AC power to operate. When the AC power is off, you 
cannot dial out or receive incoming calls using your SP-515. For this reason, the SP-515 cordless phone 
should not be your only telephone. To be safe, you should also have a phone that does not require AC power 
to operate (not a cordless phone) so you can still make and receive calls if there is an AC power failure.

Your SP-515 operates on standard radio frequencies, as allocated by the FCC. Therefore, it is possible for oth-
er radio units operating on similar frequencies, within a certain area, to inadvertently intercept your conversa-
tions and/or cause interference on your cordless telephone. This lack of privacy can occur with any cordless 
telephone.

READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLATION 

Each device that you connect to the phone line draws power from the phone line. We refer to this power draw 
as the device’s 

ringer equivalence number

, or REN. The REN is on the bottom of the base.

If you are using more than one phone or other device on the line, add up all the RENs. If the total is more than 
five, your phone might not ring. In rural areas, a total REN of three might impair ringer operation. If ringer oper-
ation is impaired, remove a device from the line.

FCC STATEMENT

This telephone complies with Part 68 of 

FCC Rules

. You must, upon request, provide the FCC registration 

number and the REN to your phone company. These numbers are on the bottom of the base.

Note: You must not connect your SP-515 to any of the following:

²

coin-operated systems

²

party-line systems

²

most electronic key phone systems

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.

DO NOT OPEN.

CAUTION

: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT

REMOVE COVER OR BACK. NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or shock hazard, do not 
expose this product to rain or moisture.
