SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Especially About Cordless Telephones
Privacy: The same features that make a cordless phone
convenient create some limitations. Telephone calls are
transmitted between the base and the handset by radio waves,
so there is a possibility that your cordless phone conversations
could be intercepted by radio receiving equipment within range
of the cordless handset. For this reason, you should not
think of cordless phone conversations as being as private
as those on corded phones.
Electrical Power: The base unit of this cordless telephone
must be connected to a working electrical outlet. The
electrical outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch. Calls
cannot be made from the handset if the base unit is
unplugged or switched off, or if the electrical power is
interrupted.
Potential TV Interference:
Some cordless telephones
operate at frequencies that may cause interference to TVs and
VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, do not place
the base unit of the cordless telephone near or on top of a TV
or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless
telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce
or eliminate the interference. (Applies to 25-channel cordless
phones only.)
Rechargeable Batteries: This product contains either Nickel-
Cadmium or Nickel-Metal Hydride rechargeable batteries.
Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the
battery with conducting material such as rings, bracelets, and
keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause harm.
Observe proper polarity between the battery and the battery
charger.
Nickel-Cadmium Rechargeable Batteries: Must be
recycled or disposed of properly. Do not dispose of in
household garbage. Do not burn or puncture. Like other
batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they could release
caustic material which could cause injury.
The RBRC
™
Seal means that the manufacturer is
voluntarily participating in an industry program
to collect and recycle Nickel-Cadmium
rechargeable batteries when taken out of service
within the United States. These batteries may be
taken to a participating local retailer of replacement batteries or
recycling center. Or you may call 1 800 8BATTERY for
locations accepting spent Nickel-Cadmium Batteries.
Nickel-Metal Hydride Rechargeable Batteries: Dispose
of these batteries in a safe manner. Do not burn or puncture.
Like other batteries of this type, if burned or punctured, they
could release caustic material which could cause injury.
Precautions for Users of
Implanted Cardiac Pacemakers
Cardiac Pacemakers (applies only to 900 MHz Digital
Cordless Telephones):
Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR), an independent
research entity, led a multidisciplinary evaluation of the
interference between portable wireless telephones and
implanted cardiac pacemakers. Supported by the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration, WTR had recommended to
physicians that:
PACEMAKER PATIENTS
• Should keep wireless phones at least six inches from the
pacemaker
• Should NOT place wireless phones directly over the
pacemaker, such as in a breast pocket, when it is turned ON
• Should use the wireless phone at the ear opposite the
pacemaker
WTR’s evaluation did not identify any risk to bystanders with
pacemakers from other persons using wireless phones.
Especially About
Telephone Answering Systems
Two-Way Recording: This unit does not sound warning
beeps to let the other party know that the call is being recorded.
To ensure that you are in compliance with any federal or state
regulations regarding recording a telephone call, you should start
the recording process and then inform the other party that you
are recording the call.
FCC and ACTA Information
If this equipment was approved for connection to the telephone
network prior to July 23, 2001, it complies with Part 68 of the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules. If the
equipment was approved after that date, it complies with the
Part 68 rules and with Technical Requirements for Connection
of Equipment to the Telephone Network adopted by the
Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA). We
are required to provide you with the following information.
1 Product identifier and REN information
The label on the back or bottom of this equipment contains,
among other things, an identifier indicating product approval
and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN).
This
information must be provided to your local telephone
company upon request. For equipment approved prior to
July 23, 2001, the product identifier is preceded by the
phrase “FCC Reg No.” and the REN is listed separately. For
equipment approved after that date, the product identifier is
preceded by “US” and a colon (:), and the REN is encoded
in the product identifier without a decimal point as the sixth
and seventh characters following the colon. For example,
the product identifier US:AAAEQ03T123XYZ would
indicate an REN of 0.3.
The REN is used to determine how many devices you may
connect to your telephone line and still have them ring when
you are called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of all RENs
should be five (5.0) or less. You may want to contact your
local telephone company for more information.
2 Connection and use with the nationwide telephone
network
The plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the
premises wiring and the telephone network must comply
with the applicable Part 68 rules and technical requirements
adopted by ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and
modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to
be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also
compliant. An RJ11 jack should normally be used for
connecting to a single line and an RJ14 jack for two lines. See
Installation Instructions in the user’s manual.This equipment
may not be used with Coin Telephone Lines or with Party
Lines. If you have specially wired alarm dialing equipment
connected to your telephone line, ensure the connection of
this equipment does not disable your alarm equipment. If
you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment,
consult your telephone company or qualified installer.
3 Repair instructions
If this equipment is malfunctioning, it must be unplugged from
the modular jack until the problem has been corrected.
Repairs to this telephone equipment can only be made by the
manufacturer or its authorized agents. For repair
procedures, follow the instructions outlined under the
Limited Warranty.
4 Rights of the telephone company
If this equipment is causing harm to the telephone network,
the telephone company may temporarily discontinue your
telephone service. The telephone company is required to
notify you before interrupting service. If advance notice is not
practical, you will be notified as soon as possible.You will be
given the opportunity to correct the problem and the
telephone company is required to inform you of your right
to file a complaint with the FCC. Your telephone company
may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operation, or
procedures that could affect the proper functioning of this
product. The telephone company is required to notify you if
such changes are planned.
5 Hearing aid compatibility
If this product is equipped with a corded or cordless handset,
it is hearing aid compatible.
6 Programming/testing of emergency numbers
If this product has memory dialing locations, you may choose
to store police, fire department and emergency medical
service telephone numbers in these locations. If you do,
please keep three things in mind:
a We recommend that you also write the telephone
number on the directory card (if applicable), so that you
can still dial the emergency number manually if the
memory dialing feature doesn’t work.
b This feature is provided only as a convenience, and the
manufacturer assumes no responsibility for customer
reliance upon the memory feature.
c Testing the emergency telephone numbers you have
stored is not recommended. However, if you do make a
call to an emergency number:
•
You must remain on the line and briefly explain the
reason for the call before hanging up.
•
Programming/testing of emergency numbers should
be performed during off-peak hours, such as in the
early morning or late evening, when the emergency
services tend to be less busy.
Interference Information:
Part 15 of FCC Rules
Some telephone equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and
used properly, may cause interference to radio and
television reception.
This product has been tested and found to meet the
standards for a Class B digital device, as specified in Part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These specifications are designed to
provide reasonable protection against such interference in
a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this product causes interference to radio, VCR or
television reception when it is in use, you might correct
the interference with any one or all of these measures:
— Where it can be done safely, re-orient the receiving
radio,VCR or television antenna.
— To the extent possible, relocate the radio, VCR, television
or other receiver with respect to the telephone equipment.
— If this telephone product runs on AC power, plug your
product into an AC outlet that’s not on the same circuit as
