SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Especially about corded telephones
Electrical power: The telephone base must be connected to a working
electrical outlet. The electrical outlet should not be controlled by a wall
switch. Calls cannot be made from the handset if the telephone base is
unplugged or switched off, or if the electrical power is interrupted.
Power adapter: The power adapter is intended to be correctly oriented in a
vertical or floor mount position. The prongs are not designed to hold the plug
in place if it is plugged into a ceiling, under-the-table or cabinet outlet.
Especially about telephone answering systems
Two-way recording: This unit does not sound warning beeps to let the other
party know that the call is being recorded. To ensure that you are in
compliance with any federal or state regulations regarding a telephone call,
you should start the recording process and then inform the other party that
you are recording the call.
FCC and ACTA Information
If this equipment was approved for connection to the telephone network prior
to July 23, 2001, it complies with Part 68 of the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) rules. If the equipment was approved after that date, it
complies with the Part 68 rules and with Technical Requirements for
Connection of Equipment to the Telephone Network adopted by the
Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA). We are required to
provide you with the following information.
1. Product identifier and REN information
The label on the back or bottom of this equipment contains, among other
things, an identifier indicating product approval and the Ringer Equivalence
Number (REN). This information must be provided to your local telephone
company upon request. For equipment approved prior to July 23, 2001, the
product identifier is preceded by the phrase “FCC Reg No.” and the REN is
listed separately. For equipment approved after that date, the product
identifier is preceded by “US” and a colon (:), and the REN is encoded in the
product identifier without a decimal point as the sixth and seventh
characters following the colon. For example, the product identifier
US: AAAEQ03T123XYZ would indicate a REN of 0.3.
The REN is used to determine how many devices you may connect to your
telephone line and still have them ring when you are called. In most, but not
all areas, the sum of all RENs should be five (5.0) or less. You may want to
contact your local telephone company for more information.
