Part 68 of FCC Rules Information
a) This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements
adopted by the ACTA. On the bottom of this equipment is a label that contains,
among other information, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If
requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company.
b) A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and
telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and
requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug,
RJ11C USOC, is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a
compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details.
c) The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to
a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not
ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs
should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be
connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone
company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part
of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX.
The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN
of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.
d) If this telephone equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone
company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may
be required. But if advance notice isn’t practical, the telephone company will notify
the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.
e) The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations
or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens the

information, please contact Clarity, 1-800-552-3368. If the equipment is causing harm
to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect
the equipment until the problem is resolved.
g) This telephone equipment is not intended to be repaired and it contains no
repairable parts. Opening the equipment or any attempt to perform repairs will void
the warranty. For service or repairs, call 1-800-552-3368.
h) Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state
public utility commission, public service commission or corporation commission for
information.
Part 68 of FCC Rules Information

Part 15 of FCC Rules Information
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. 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 undesired
operation.
Your equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits of a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in 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, you
are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
1. Where it can be done safely, reorient the receiving television or radio antenna.
2. To the extent possible, relocate the television, radio or other receiver with respect
to the telephone equipment. (This increases the separation between the telephone
equipment and the receiver.)
3. Connect the telephone equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the television, radio, or other receiver is connected.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced Radio/TV Technician for help.
CAUTION:
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Industry Canada Technical Specifications
This product meets the applicable Industry Canada technical specifications.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be
connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must
also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the company’s
inside wiring associated with a single line individual service may be extended by means
of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be
aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service
in some situations. Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized
Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier.
Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment
malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to
disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of
the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are
connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.
CAUTION:
Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves,
but should contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority, or electrician, as
appropriate.
The Ringer Equivalence Number is an indication of the maximum number of terminals
allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. 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 five.
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
(The term “IC:” before the certification/registration number only signifies that the
Industry Canada technical specifications were met.)

TROUBLESHOOTING
Handset loses the link to base during use
1. Check the power cord is connected properly into the telephone base.
2. Make sure the DC power adapter is connected properly into an electrical outlet.
3. Move the cordless handset closer to the telephone base. It may be out of range.
4. Reset the telephone base by unplugging the unit’s electrical power. Wait for around
15 seconds and plug it back in again. Allow up to one minute for the cordless handset
and the telephone base to synchronize.
Static On The Line
1. Your phone may be located near a touch lamp, microwave, refrigerator or other
household appliances. Try relocating your phone to another area.
2. A cordless phone on your line may cause static. Try disconnecting the cordless phone.
This may eliminate the problem.
3. Extra devices attached to the telephone, such as CID units and answering machines
may cause static. Disconnecting the devices may eliminate the problem.
4. If there is also a DSL service in the home, this will cause interference on the line.
That interference is then amplified by the phone, causing a less than optimal quality of
conversation. Install the phone line filter provided by the DSL service provider to reduce
the amount of interference on the line.
Interference
1. Check cords and connections. Frayed or poorly connected cords can cause
interference. Swap cords if necessary.
Noise interference on your radio or television
1. Your base or charger may be too close. Move it as far away as possible.
