Technical Information This cordiess telaphone uses radio frequencies to allow mobility, There are certain difficulties in using radio frequencies with a cordless telephone. While these are normal, the following could affect the operation of your system. Noise Electrical pulse noise is present in most homes at one time or another. This noise is most intense during electrical storms. Certain kinds of electrical equipment such as light dimmers, fluorescent bulbs, motors, and fans also generate noise pulses. Because—radio frequencies are susceptible to these noise pulses, you may occasionally hear them in your HANDSET. Generally they are minor annoyance and should ‘not be interpreted as a defect in your system. Range Because radio frequency is used, the location of the BASE UNIT can affect the operating range. Try severallocations in your home or office and pick the one that gives you the clearest signal to the HANDSET. Interference @, Electronic circuits activate a relay to connect the cordless telephone to your ,@ telephone line. These electronic circuits operate in the radio frequency spectrum. While several protection circuits are used to prevent unwanted signals, there may be periods when these unwanted signals enter the BASE UNIT, You may hear clicks or hear the relay activate while you are not using the HANDSET. if the interference occurs frequently, it can be minimized or efiminated by lowering the height of your base antenna or by relocating the BASE UNIT. You can check for interference before selecting the final BASE UNIT location by plugging in the phone. NOTICE: This cordless telephone uses radio communication between the HANDSET and the BASE UNIT and may not ensure privacy of communication. Other devices, including other cordless telephone, may interfere with the operation of this cordless telephone or cause nolse during operation. Units not containing coded access may be accessed by other radio communication systems. Cordless telephones must not cause interference to any licensed radio service.

FCC Requirements Federal Communications Commission Requirements This equipment complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules. A label on the BASE UNIT of this equipment contains, among otherinformation, the FCC Registration Number and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone company. The REN is also useful in determining the quantity of devices that you may connect to your telephone line and still allow these devices to ring when your telephone number is called. In most areas, but not all, the sum of the REN‘s for all devices connected to one line should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that you may connect to your line, you should contact your local telephone company. if your equipment should cause harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may temporarily disconnect your service.
