compliant.
The REN is used to determine the 
number of devices that may be 
connected to a telephone line. Excessive 
RENs on a telephone line may result in 
the devices not ringing in response to an 
incoming call. In most but not all areas, 
the sum of RENs should not exceed five 
(5.0). To be certain of the number of 
devices that may be connected to a line, 
as determined by the total RENs, contact 
the local telephone company. For 
products approved after July 23, 2001, 
the REN for the product is part of the 
product identifier that has the format 
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits 
represented by ## are the REN without adecimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3).
If this equipment causes harm to the 
telephone network, the telephone 
company will notify you in advance that  
temporary discontinuance of service may 
be required. But if advance notice isn’t 
practical, the telephone company will 
notify the customer as soon as possible. 
Also, you will be advised of your right to 
file a complaint with the FCC if you 
believe it is necessary.
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.
If trouble is experienced with this 
equipment, for repair or warranty 
information, please contact a Factory 
Servicenter or other Authorized Servicer. 
If the equipment is causing harm to the 
telephone network, the telephone 
company may request that you 
disconnect the equipment until the 
problem is resolved.

subject to state tariffs. Contact the state 
public utility commission, public service 
commission or corporation commission 
for information.

Some cordless telephones operate at 
frequencies that may cause interference 
to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize or 
prevent such interference, the base of the 
cordless telephone should not be placed 
near or on top of a TV or VCR. If 
interference is experienced, move the 
cordless telephone further away from the 
TV or VCR. This will often reduce, or 
eliminate, interference.
FCC RF Exposure Warning:
The product complies with FCC radiation 
exposure limits set forth for an 
uncontrolled environment. To comply with 
FCC RF exposure requirements, the 
base unit must be installed and operated 
with its antenna located 20 cm (8 inches) 
or more between the antenna and all 
person’s body (excluding extremities of 
hands, wrist and feet). The handset may 
be carried and operated with only the 
optional specific belt-clip. Other non-
tested belt-clips or similar body-worn 
accessories may not comply and must be 
avoided. The product must not be 
collocated or operated in conjunction with 
any other antenna or transmitter.
