PERATION

PEAKERPHONE

For hands-free operation and convenience, this unit is
equipped with a speakerphone.
For best speakerphone performance, avoid the
following:
• Areas with high background noise. (The

microphone might pick up these sounds and
prevent the speakerphone from going into the
receiving mode when you finish talking.)

• Surfaces affected by vibration.
• Recessed areas such as in a corner, under a

cupboard, or next to a cabinet, which can generate
an echo effect.

Note the following guidelines when using the
speakerphone:
• The speakerphone works similar to a two-way radio

in that you can only listen or talk at one time.

• Stay reasonably close to the phone so that you can

be clearly heard by the person to whom you are
talking.

• You can adjust the speaker volume by adjusting the

VOLUME control on the right side of the base.

• The speakerphone indicator comes on when the

speakerphone is in use.

NOTE:

Only one-way conversation is possible in

speakerphone mode. When you are speaking, you
are transmitting. When you are listening, you are
receiving. You can’t do both at the same time. The
phone automatically switches between transmitting
and receiving depending on the level of the voice or
the room noise detected by the speakerphone
microphone.

IMPORTANT:

Before using the speakerphone, pick

up the handset and listen for a dial tone. If you do
not hear a dial tone, recheck or repeat the
installation steps.

QUIPMENT

PPROVAL

NFORMATION

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.

Notes
•

This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone
company.

•

Party lines are subject to state tariffs, and therefore, you may not be able to
use your own telephone equipment if you are on a party line. Check with
your local telephone company.

•

Notice must be given to the telephone company upon permanent
disconnection of your telephone from your line.

•

If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the
telephone line, ensure the installation of this product does not disable your
alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm
equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.

2 Rights of the Telephone Company

Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the telephone
network, the telephone company shall, where practicable, notify you that
temporary discontinuance of service may be required. Where prior notice is not
practicable and the circumstances warrant such action, the telephone company
may temporarily discontinue service immediately. In case of such temporary
discontinuance, the telephone company must: (1) promptly notify you of such
temporary discontinuance; (2) afford you the opportunity to correct the situation;
and (3) inform you of your right to bring a complaint to the Commission pursuant
to procedures set forth in Subpart E of Part 68, FCC Rules and Regulations.
The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities,
equipment, operations or procedures where such action is required in the
operation of its business and not inconsistent with FCC Rules and Regulations. If
these changes are expected to affect the use or performance of your telephone
equipment, the telephone company must give you adequate notice, in writing, to
allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.

NTERFERENCE

NFORMATION

This device complies with 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.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
•

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for radio or
television that is “receiving” the interference).

•

Reorient or relocate and increase the separation between the
telecommunications equipment and receiving antenna.

•

Connect the telecommunications equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiving antenna is connected.

If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer or
an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. Also, the
Federal Communications Commission has prepared a helpful booklet, “How To
Identify and Resolve Radio/TV Interference Problems.” This booklet is available
from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. Please specify
stock number 004-000-00345-4 when ordering copies.
