Interference Information

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules and regulations. Operation 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 undesirable operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation.

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, 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 off 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 (that is, the antenna for radio or television that
is “receiving” the interference).

•

Reorient or relocate and increase the separation between the telecommunications
equipment and receiving antenna.

•

Connect the telecommunications equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the equipment with the receiving antenna is connected.

If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer or an experienced
radio/television technician for additional suggestions.

Notice: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance

could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

The installation of the base unit should allow at least 20 centimeter between the base and persons to be in

compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. For body worn operation, the portable part (handset) has

been tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines.

This device must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. The

changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the

user’s authority to operate the equipment.
