3. Replace batteries that appear to be swollen or have damaged wiring.
4. Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in fire. They may explode. Check with local codes for possible special
disposal instructions.
5. Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies). Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to
the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
6. Exercise care in handling battery(ies) in order not to short out the battery(ies) with conducting
materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery(ies) or conductor may overheat and cause
burns.
7. Do not attempt to recharge the battery(ies) provided with or identified for use with this product that
are not rechargeable. The battery(ies) may leak corrosive electrolyte or explode.
8. Do not attempt to rejuvenate the battery(ies) provided with or identified for use with this product by
heating them. Sudden release of the battery(ies) electrolyte may occur causing burns or irritation to
eyes or skin.
9. When replacing battery(ies), all batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing fresh and
discharged batteries could increase internal cell pressure and rupture the discharged battery(ies).
(Applies to products employing more than one separately replaceable primary battery.)
10. When inserting battery(ies) into this product, the proper polarity or direction must be observed.
Reverse insertion of battery(ies) may result in leakage or explosion.
11. When inserting battery(ies) into this product, do not twist or pinch the wires or allow wires to become
pinched in battery door.
12. If storing over 30 days, remove battery(ies) from this product because the battery(ies) could leak and

This equipment is in compliance with parts 15 and 68, FCC Rules and Regulations and the Technical
Requirements for Telephone Terminal Equipment published by ACTA.
On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information, the US number and Ringer
Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your
telephone company.
The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still
have all of these devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most (but not all) areas, the sum of
the RENs of all devices connected to one line should not exceed 5.
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 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.
This equipment is not intended to be used with Party Lines. If your home has specially wired alarm
equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of this product does not disable your
alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone
company or a qualified installer.
If this equipment is malfunctioning, it should be unplugged from the modular jack until the problem is
corrected. Repairs to this equipment can only be made by the manufacturer or its authorized agents. For
information on repair procedures, follow the instructions provided with the limited warranty. Should your
equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the telephone network, the telephone company
shall, where practicable, notify you that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. Where
prior notice is not practical and the circumstances warrant such action, the telephone company may
temporarily discontinue service immediately. In case of such temporary discontinuance, the telephone
company must: (1) promptly notify you of such temporary discontinuance; (2) afford you the opportunity to
correct the situation; and (3) inform you of your right to bring a complaint to the Commission pursuant to
procedures set forth in Subpart E of Part 68, FCC Rules and Regulations.
The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment, operations
or procedures where such action is required in the operation of its business and not inconsistent with
FCC Rules and Regulations. If these changes are expected to affect the use or performance of your
telephone equipment, the telephone company must give you adequate notice, in writing, to allow you to
maintain uninterrupted service. 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. 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.
Privacy of Communications may not be ensured when using this product.
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
receiving antenna is connected.
FCC Parts 15, 68 and ACTA
If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult an experienced radio/television
technician for additional suggestions.
The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
