FCC Information

FCC Compliance Class B Digital Device

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 limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. 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 off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following 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.

Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Motorola for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)

This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. vii

FCC Declaration of Conformity

Motorola, Inc., Connected Home Solutions, 101 Tournament Drive, Horsham, PA 19044,

1-215-323-1000, declares that this cordless phone complies with 47 CFR Parts 2 and 15 of the FCC Rules as

Class B digital devices.

Canadian Compliance

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003. Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme á la norme NMB-003 du Canada.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Part 68 Statement

This Motorola cordless phone complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the

Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA). On the bottom of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in format US: AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company.

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs should not exceed five (5.0).

To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to the line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the telephone company.



For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US: AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.

This equipment uses the following USOC jack: RJ11C. A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details.

Connection to Party Line Service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission, public service commission, or corporation commission for information. If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that the temporary discontinuance of services may be required. If advance notice is not 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 Motorola,

Inc. at 1-877-466-8646. If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment from the network until the problem is solved.

This equipment is hearing aid compatible. ix



x

If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of the 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.

CAUTION: To maintain compliance with the FCC's RF exposure guidelines place the base unit at least 20 cm from nearby persons.

For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with the belt clip supplied or designated for this product. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.

Industry Canada CS-03 Declaration of Conformity

This product meets the applicable Industry Canada technical specifications. The Ringer Equivalence Number

(REN) is an indication of the maximum number of devices allowed to be connected to a telephone interface.

The termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the RENs of all the devices does not exceed five.

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.

When the system is set to announce only, callers hear your announcement, but cannot leave a message.

Turn the base ringer on or off.

Choose how many times the phone will ring before the system answers. With toll saver active, the system answers after two rings when you have new messages and after four rings when you have no new messages.



Outgoing Messages and Announcements Overview

NOTE: If you choose not to record your own greetings, the system provides prerecorded messages. The normal pre-recorded greeting says:

"Hello. I'm unable to answer your call right now. Please leave your name, number, and a message after the tone."

"Hello, I'm unable to answer your call right now. Please call again. Thank you."
