FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC) PART 68 STATEMENT
The Motorola M351S complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the require- ments adopted by the Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA). On the bottom of this equipment is a label that contains, among other informa- tion, a product identifier in format US: AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this infor- mation must be provided to the telephone company.
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is used to determine the number of de- vices that may be connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on the tele- phone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs should not exceed five. To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to the line, as deter- mined by the total RENs, contact your local telephone company.
For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US: AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits repre- sented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 02 is a REN of 0.2). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.This equipment uses the following USOC jack: RJ11C. A plug and jack used to connect this equip- ment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the ap- plicable 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 installa- tion instructions for details.

If such interference continues, move the cordless tele- phone farther away from these appliances. Certain other communications de- vices may also operate at the 2.4 GHz frequency for communication, and, if not properly set, these devices may interfere with each other and/or your new tele- phone. If you are concerned with interference, please refer to the owner's manual for these devices on how to properly set channels to avoid interference. Typical devices that may use the 2.4 GHz frequency for communication include wireless audio/video senders, wireless computer networks,
