IMPORTANT INFORMATION

This telephone has been tested and found to comply with all 

applicable UL and FCC standards.

FCC STATEMENT

Your telephone compiles with Part 68 of the FCC Rules.Upon 

request, you must provide the phone’s FCC registration number 

and REN to your phone company. These numbers are on the base 

unit. 

Your phone is not intended to be used with party-line systems. 

Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact 

the state public utility commission, public service commission, or 

corporation commission for information. 

We have designed your phone to conform to federal regulations, 

and you can connect it to most telephone lines. However, each 

phone (and each device, such as a telephone or answering 

machine) that you connect to the telephone line draws power from 

the telephone line. We refer to this power draw as the device’s 

ringer equivalence number, or REN on the back of your phone.

If you use more than one phone or other device on the line, add up 

all of the RENs. If the total is more than five (three in rural areas), 

your telephones might not ring. If ringer operation is impaired, 

remove a device from the line.

In the unlikely event that your phone causes problems on the 

phone line, the phone company can temporarily discontinue your 

service. If this happens, the phone company attempts to notify you 

in advance. If advance notice is not practical, the phone company 

notifies you as soon as possible and advises you of your right to file 

a complaint with the FCC.

Also, the phone company can make changes to its lines, equipment, 

operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of this 

phone. The telephone company notifies you of these changes in 

advance, so you can take the necessary steps to prevent 

interruption of your telephone service.

You must not connect your phone to:

• coin-operated systems

• most electronic key telephone systems

ROTECTION

Your phone has built-in protection circuits to reduce the risk of 

damage from surges in telephone line and power line current. 

These protection circuits meet or exceed the FCC requirements. 

However, lightning striking the phone or power lines can damage 

your phone.

Lightning damage is not common.

Nevertheless, if you live in an area that has severe electrical 

storms, we suggest that you unplug your phone when storms 

approach to reduce the possibility of damage.
