TECHNICAL INFORMATION
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 construction. In some cases, the company’s inside wiring associated with
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 that the user
disconnect the equipment.
The user should ensure for his 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 exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of
important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
REN Number:
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal’s device provides an indication of
the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface.
The REN number of this phone is located on the bottom of the base unit. The termination on an
interface may consist of any combination of device subject only to the requirement that the sum of the
Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.
CAUTION
This product is intended for use in the USA and CANADA only. Sale or use in other countries may
violate local laws.
Cordless telephones use radio frequencies to allow mobility. This affects the performance of your
phone.
To maintain compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure guidelines it is recommended a typical distance
at least 20cm is maintained between the base unit and nearby persons.
1. NOISE
Electrical pulse noise is present in most homes at one time or another. This is most intense during
electrical storms. Certain kinds of electrical equipment, such as light dimmers, fluorescent bulbs,
motors, fans, etc., also generate pulse noise. Because radio frequencies are susceptible to this, you
may on occasion hear pulse noise through the handset. This is usually only a minor annoyance and
should not be interpreted as a defect of the phone.
2. RANGE
Because radio frequencies are used, the location of the base station can affect the operating range of
the phone. Try several locations and choose the one that gives the clearest signal to the handset.
Generally, a central area on the highest floor in a multi-floor residence yields best results.
3. INTERFERENCE
Electronic circuits activate a relay to connect the unit to your telephone line. These electronic circuits
operate in the radio frequency spectrum. While several protection circuits are used to prevent
unwanted signals, there may be periods when these unwanted signals enter the base station. You
may hear a click or hear the relay activate when you are not using the cordless handset. If this occurs
frequently, or relocating the base station.
4. RADIO EQUIPMENT
The term "IC:" before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada technical
specifications were met. Operation is subject to the following two conditions (as set by Industry
Canada): (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
NOTICE:
Cordless telephones are radio devices. Communications between the handset and base of your
cordless telephone are accomplished by means of radio waves which are broadcast over the open
airways. Because of the inherent physical properties of radio waves, your communications can be
received by radio receiving devices other than your own cordless telephone unit. Consequently,
any communications using your cordless telephone may not be private.
The Industry Canada Label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the
equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational and safety
requirements. The ministry does not guarantee that the equipment will operate to the user’s
satisfaction.
