information to your local telephone company.
FCC Part 68
The FCC requires that you connect your
cordless telephone to the nationwide telephone
network through a modular telephone jack
(USOC RJ11C or RJ11W).
This equipment is compatible with inductively
coupled hearing aids.
Your telephone company may discontinue your
service if your equipment causes harm to the
telephone network. They will notify you in
advance of disconnection, if possible. During
notification, you will be informed of your right to
file a complaint with the FCC.
FCC Part 15
Warning:Changes or modifications to this unit
not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate
the equipment.
If it is determined that your telephone equipment
is malfunctioning, the FCC requires that it not be
used and that it be unplugged from the modular
jack until the problem has been corrected.
Repairs to this telephone equipment can only

installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try and correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
The REN is useful in determining the number of
devices you may connect to your telephone line
and still enable the devices to ring when you
receive a call. The general rule is that the REN
value should not exceed 5.0 total; however,
contact your local telephone company for the
specific number in your area.
