EQUIPMENT APPROVAL INFORMATION

Your telephone equipment is approved for connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network and is in compliance with parts 15 and 68, FCC Rules and Regulations and the Technical Requirements for Telephone Terminal Equipment published by ACTA.

1 Notification to the Local Telephone Company

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. To be certain of the

number of devices you may connect to your line as determined by the REN,

you should contact your local telephone company.

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.

the battery. Once connected, place the

battery inside the battery compartment.

3. Replace the battery compartment cover.

NOTE: Alkaline (NEDA 1604A) batteries are recommended. Carbon-zinc (NEDA 1604) batteries may be used but memory holding time will be substantially reduced. Memory holding time for a fresh alkaline battery is approximately 3 months (if Wake System is not activated), which should take care of short, nuisance-type AC power failures. To preserve battery life, the phone should remain plugged into an AC electrical outlet. As the battery gets older, its voltage drops and memory may be lost. Be sure to replace the battery periodically. A backup battery is not included with this telephone.

NOTE: All memory will be lost if the battery is not installed if the unit is unplugged for more than 60 seconds.

IMPORTANT: If storing this unit for more than 30 days, remove the battery.
