The Caller ID Number Auto Edit Feature

There are 3 patterns of phone number ( a , b , and c , p. 41). This feature allows your phone to automatically edit an in-coming Caller ID number into one pattern you preferred, and display the Caller ID number with that pattern on the handset automatically.

After this feature is activated, Caller ID numbers coming from considered area codes (201, for example), from which the Caller ID numbers have been chosen to follow the desired pattern (7 digit pattern, for example), will be automatically edited from other patterns (11 digit pattern, for example) into the same pattern you have previously selected (which is 7 digit pattern, in the example).

Up to 4 area codes are allowed for this feature for pattern a and b (p. 41).

To activate this feature, you must 1) set this feature to on, and 2) make an out-going call from Caller List (p. 40) with a number which has one of 3 patterns that you have edited with considered area code, and that you prefer to be followed by future Caller ID numbers, so that in the future all the Caller ID numbers coming from the same area code will be displayed in the same pattern.

The Caller ID number Auto Edit feature is preset to ON at factory.

•

If you fail to reach your destination when making the call, the phone number you dialed might have an incorrect pattern, please edit the phone number with another pattern (p. 41).

For example, if you move to another area, you may need to turn this feature to OFF to erase previously edited area codes. Then, if still need, you may activate this feature again.

89

FCC and Other Information

If requested by the telephone company, inform them as follows:

Registration No. ....................................................(found on the bottom of the unit)

Ringer Equivalence ...........................................................................................0.1B

The particular telephone line to which the equipment is connected.

This unit must not be connected to a coin operated line.

If you are on a party line, check with your local telephone company.

90

Ringer Equivalence No. (REN):

The REN is useful in determining the quantity of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the REN’s of all devices connected to one line should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line, as determined by the REN, you should contact your local telephone company to determine the maximum REN for your calling area.

In the event terminal equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company should notify the customer, if possible, that service may be stopped.

However, where prior notice is impractical, the company may temporarily cease service providing that they:

(a) Promptly notify the customer.

(b) Give the customer an opportunity to correct the problem with their equipment.

(c) Inform the customer of the right to bring a complaint to the Federal

Communication Commission pursuant to procedures set out in FCC Rules and

Regulations Subpart E of Part 68.

The Telephone Company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment, operations or procedures, where such action is reasonably required in the operation of its business and is not inconsistent with the rules and regulations in 47 CFR Part 68.

If such changes can be reasonably expected to render any customer terminal equipment incompatible with telephone company communications facilities, or require modification or alteration of such terminal equipment, or otherwise materially affect its use or performance, the customer shall be given adequate notice in writing, to allow the customer an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service.

When programming emergency numbers and/or making test calls to emergency numbers:

1. Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call before hanging up.

2. Perform such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early morning hours or late evenings.

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.

Privacy of communications may not be ensured when using this phone.

CAUTION:

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this device.

Note:

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 or more 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.

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.

Operating near 2.4GHz electrical appliances may cause interference. Move away from the electrical appliances and/or press the CH (Channel) button.

CAUTION:

To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, the base unit should be installed with its antenna located at 20 cm or more from persons and handset should be carried with the specific belt-clip provided for the handset to ensure compliance.

Other non-tested belt-clips or similar body-worn accessories may not comply, therefore, should be avoided.

This equipment is hearing aid compatible.

A TIA/EIA-IS-968 compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this equipment. This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using a compatible modular jack that is also TIA/EIA-IS-968 compliant.

The software contained in this equipment to allow user access to the network must be ungraded to recognize newly established network area codes and exchange codes as they are placed into service.

Failure to upgrade the premises systems or peripheral equipment to recognize the new codes as they are established will restrict the customer and the customer’s employees from gaining access to the network and to these codes.

Environment — do not place the unit in a room where the temperature is less than 5°C (41°F) or greater than 40°C (104°F). Allow 10 cm (4") clearance around the unit for proper ventilation. Avoid excessive smoke, dust, mechanical vibration, shock, or direct sunlight.

•

Medical — consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers, to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF (radio frequency) energy. (The unit operates in the frequency range of 2402MHz to

2480MHz, and the power output level can range 0.015 watts.) Do not use the unit in health care facilities if any regulations posted in the area instruct you not to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF (radio frequency) energy.

•

Routine care — wipe the unit with a soft cloth. Do not use benzine, thinner, or any abrasive powder. When you leave the unit unused for a long period of time, unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet.

•

If there is any trouble — disconnect the unit from the telephone line and connect a known working phone.
