ROTECTION
Your telephone has built-in protection circuits to
reduce the risk of damage from surges in telephone
line and power line current. These protection
circuits meet or exceed the FCC requirements.
However, lightning striking the telephone or power
lines can damage your telephone.
Lightning damage is not common. Nevertheless, if
you live in an area that has severe electrical storms,
we suggest that you unplug your phone when
storms approach to reduce the possibility of
damage.
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
Your telephone is UL listed and meets all applicable
FCC requirements.
We have designed your phone to conform to federal
regulations, and you can connect it to most
telephone lines. However, each device, such as a
telephone or answering machine, that you connect
to the telephone line draws power from the
telephone line. We refer to this power draw as the
device's ringer equivalence number, or REN. The
REN is on the bottom of your phone.
If you use more than one phone or other device on
the line, add up all of the RENs. If the total is more
than five (three in rural areas), your telephones
might not ring. If ringer operation is impaired,
remove a device from the line.
