the requirements adopted by the Administrative Council for Terminal 
Attachments (ACTA). 
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring 
and telephone network must comply with applicable FCC Part 68 rules 
and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord

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, contact your local telephone company.

FCC and Interference Information
If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to 
the telephone line, ensure the installation of this cordless phone 
does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions 
about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone 
company or a qualified installer.
Notice must be given to the telephone company upon permanent 
disconnection of your telephone from your line.
The FCC requires that you connect your cordless telephone to the 
nationwide telephone network through a modular telephone jack 
(USOC RJ11C/RJ11W or RJ14C/RJ14W).
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 practical and the circumstances warrant such 
action, the telephone company may temporarily disconnect 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;
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 facilities, equipment, 
operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of the 
equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will provide 
advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to 
maintain uninterrupted service.

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

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 on and 
off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference with one or 
more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for the 
radio or television that is “receiving” the interference).
Reorient or relocate and increase the separation between the 
telecommunications equipment and the receiving antenna.
Connect the telecommunications equipment into an outlet on a circuit 
different from that to which the receiving antenna is connected.
