TECHNICAL INFORMATION
REN NUMBER
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an
indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone
interface.
The REN number of this phone is located on the bottom of the base unit. The termination on
an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that
the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.
CAUTION
This product is intended for use in CANADA only. Sale or use in other countries may violate
local laws.
Cordless telephones use radio frequencies to allow mobility. This affects the performance of
your phone.
1. NOISE
Electrical pulse noise is present in most homes at one time or another. This is most intense
during electrical storms. Certain kinds of electrical equipment, such as light dimmers,
fluorescent bulbs, motors, fans, etc., also generate pulse noise.
Because radio frequencies are susceptible to this, you may on occasion hear pulse noise
through the handset. This is usually only a minor annoyance and should not be interpreted
as a defect of the phone.
2. RANGE
Because radio frequencies are used, the location of the base station can affect the operating
range of the phone. Try several locations and choose the one that gives the clearest signal to
the handset. (Turning in a circle while holding the handset may also increase the operating
range.)
3. INTERFERENCE
Electronic circuits activate a relay to connect the unit to your telephone line. These electronic
circuits operate in the radio frequency spectrum. While several protection circuits are used
to prevent unwanted signals, there may be periods when these unwanted signals enter the
base station. You may hear click or hear the relay activate when you are not using the
cordless handset. If this occurs frequently, you can minimize or eliminate the problem by
lowering the height of the base station or relocating the base station. It may also be helpful
to change the operating channel and/or the security code setting.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that
may cause undesired operation of the device.
NOTICE:
Privacy of communications may not be ensured when using this telephone. Other devices,
including other cordless telephones, may interfere with the operation of this cordless
telephone or cause noise during operation. Units without coded access may be accessed by
other radio communication systems. Cordless telephones must not cause interference to any
licensed radio service.
The Industry Canada Label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the
equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational and safety
requirements. The ministry does not guarantee that the equipment will operate to the user’s
satisfaction.
