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.

Cordless telephones use radio frequencies to allow mobility. This affects the performance of your phone.

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 inter- preted 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. (Turning in a circle while holding the handset may also increase the operating range.)

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, you can minimize or eliminate the problem by lowering the height of the base station or relocating the base station. It may also be helpful to change the operating channel and/or the security code setting.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (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:

Privacy of communications may not be ensured when using this telephone. Other devices, including other cordless telephones, may interfere with the operation of this cordless telephone or cause noise during operation. Units without coded access may be accessed by other radio communication systems. Cordless telephones must not cause interference to any licensed radio service.
