Customer Care Warranty for Cordless Products

FCC Information
Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by Siemens Cordless Products could
void the FCC authority to operate the equipment. This includes the addition of any external antenna device.
This telephone system complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the bottom of the base station is labeling
that contains, among other information the FCC Registration Number and the Ringer Equivalence number
(REN). You must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone company.
The REN is useful in determining the quantity of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still
have all of those 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 five (5.0). 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 to determine the maximum REN for your calling area.
If your telephone equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may ask you
to disconnect the system from the line until the problem has been corrected or they may discontinue your
service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance. But if advance notice isn’t practical, you will
be notified as soon as possible. You will be informed of your right to file a complaint with FCC.
Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that
could affect the proper functioning of your telephone system. If they do, you will be notified in advance to
give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted telephone service. If you experience trouble with this
telephone system, disconnect it from the network until the problem has been corrected or until you are sure
that the equipment is not malfunctioning.
This telephone system may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company. Connection to
party lines is subject to state tariffs. Privacy of communications may not be ensured when using this phone.
This telephone system equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. Some cordless telephones
operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TV’s and VCR’s; to minimize or prevent such
interference, the system base should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR; and, if interference is
experienced, moving the base farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the
interference.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this telephone
system does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the system off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
1. Increase the separation between the base station and receiver.
2. Connect the base station into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
3. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV technician for help.
Notice to Hearing Aid Wearers: This phone system is compatible with inductively coupled hearing aids.
Power Outage: In the event of a power outage, your cordless telephone will not operate. The cordless
telephone requires electricity for operation. You should have a telephone that does not require electricity
available for use during power outages.
Notice: The installation of the base unit should allow at least 8 inches between the base and persons to be
in compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
