1 National requirements will apply only if the equipment may use pulse dialling (manufacturers may state in the user guide that the equipment is only intended to support DTMF signalling, which would make any additional testing superfluous).
In The Netherlands additional testing is required for series connection and caller ID facilities.
Federal Communications Commission 
Interference Statement
This device complies with FCC Rules Part 15. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
•	 This	device	may	not	cause	harmful	interference.
•	 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\н class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the Federal Communications Comm\нission (FCC) rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protectio\нn against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment gener\нates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in\н accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communica\нtions. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a par\нticular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio\н or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on\н, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the f\нollowing measures:
•	 Reorient	or	relocate	the	receiving	antenna.
•	 Increase	the	separation	between	the	equipment	and	receiver.

•	 Connect	the	equipment	into	an	outlet	on	a	circuit	different	from	that	to	which the receiver is connected. 
•	 Consult	the	dealer	or	an	experienced	radio/TV	technician	for	help.
WARNING! The use of a shielded-type power cord is required in order to meet FCC emission limits and to prevent interference to the nearby radio and television reception.  It is essential that only the supplied power cord be used. Use only shielded cables to connect I/O devices to this equipment. You are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void your authority to operate the equipment.

Déclaration d’Industrie Canada relative à l’
exposition aux ondes radio 
Cet appareil est conforme aux limites d’exposition aux radiations d’Industrie Canada définies pour un environnement non-contrôlé. Pour maintenir la conformité avec les exigences d’exposition RF d’IC, veuillez éviter tout contact direct avec l’antenne pendant l’émission. Les utilisateurs finaux doivent suivre les instructions de fonctionnement spécifiques pour satisfaire la conformité aux expositions RF. 
Son utilisation est sujette aux deux conditions suivantes : 
•		 Cet	appareil	ne	peut	pas	causer	d’interférence,	et	
•		 Cet	appareil	doit	accepter	toute	interférence,	y	compris	les	interférences	qui pourraient causer un fonctionnement non souhaité de l’appareil. 
Pour éviter les interférences radio avec le service sous licence (c’est à-dire le partage de canal avec les systèmes de téléphonie satellite), cet appareil est destiné à être utilisé en intérieur et loin des fenêtres pour fournir un blindage maximal. Tout appareil (ou son antenne d’émission) qui est installé en extérieur est sujet à cette licence.
Le present appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence.

France Restricted Wireless Frequency Bands
Some areas of France have a restricted frequency band. The worst case maximum authorized power indoors are: 
•	 10mW	for	the	entire	2.4	GHz	band	(2400	MHz–2483.5	MHz)	
•	 100mW	for	frequencies	between	2446.5	MHz	and	2483.5	MHz
NOTE: Channels 10 through 13 inclusive operate in the band 2446.6 MHz to 2483.5 MHz.
There are few possibilities for outdoor use: on private property or on the private property of public persons, use is subject to a preliminary authorization procedure by the Ministry of Defense, with maximum authorized power of 100mW in the 2446.5–2483.5	MHz	band.	Use	outdoors	on	public	property	is	not	permitted.	
In the departments listed below, for the entire 2.4 GHz band: 
•	 Maximum	authorized	power	indoors	is	100mW	
•	 Maximum	authorized	power	outdoors	is	10mW
