INSTALLATION
We have designed your phone to conform to
federal regulations and you can connect it to
most phone lines. However, each device that
you connect to the telephone line draws
power from the line. We refer to this power
draw as the phone’s ringer equivalence num-
ber, or REN. The REN is on the bottom of
your phone.
If you use more than one phone or other de-
vice on the line, add up all the RENs. If the
total is more than five (three in rural areas),
your phones might not ring. If ringer opera-
tion is impaired, remove one of the devices
from the line.
This telephone has been tested and found to
comply with all applicable UL and FCC stan-
dards.
FCC STATEMENT
Your telephone complies with Part 68 of FCC
Rules. Upon request, you must provide the
phone’s FCC registration number and REN
to your telephone company. These numbers
are on the bottom of the base.
Note: You must not connect your telephone
to:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key phone systems
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
In the unlikely event that your phone causes
problems on the phone line, the phone com-
pany can temporarily discontinue your ser-
vice. If this happens, the phone company
attempts to notify you in advance. If advance
notice is not practical, the phone company
notifies you as soon as possible and advises
you of your right to file a complaint with the
FCC.
Also, the phone company can make changes
to its lines, equipment, operations, or proce-
dures that could affect the operation of this
telephone. The telephone company notifies
you of these changes in advance, so you can
take the necessary steps to prevent interrup-
tion of your telephone service.
Your phone might cause TV or radio interfer-
ence even when it is operating properly. To
determine whether your phone is causing the
interference, turn off your phone. If the inter-
ference goes away, your phone is causing it.
Try to eliminate the interference by:
