must accept any interference, including interference that
may cause undesired operation of the device.
The equipment must be installed using an acceptable
method of connection. The customer should be aware that
compliance with the above conditions may not prevent
degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an
authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by
the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to
this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the
telecommunications company cause to request the user to
disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the
electrical ground connections of the power utility,
telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe systems,
if present, are connected together. This precaution may be
particularly important in rural areas.
CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such
connections themselves, but should contact the
appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as
appropriate.
NOTES: This equipment may not be used on coin service
provided by the telephone company.
Interference Information
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency
energy which may interfere with residential radio and
television reception if not properly installed and used in
accordance with instructions contained in this manual.
Reasonable protection against such interference is
ensured, although there is no guarantee this will not occur
in a given installation. If interference is suspected and
verified by switching this equipment on and off, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures: Reorient the radio/
television receiver’s antenna, relocate the equipment
with respect to the receiver, plug the equipment and
receiver into separate circuit outlets. The user may also
wish to consult a qualified radio/television technician for
additional suggestions. This equipment has been fully
tested and complies with all limits for Class B computing
devices pursuant to part 15 FCC Rules and Regulations.
Telephone Network Information
Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which
may harm the telephone network, the telephone company,
where practicable, may notify you that temporary
discontinuance of service may be required. Where prior
notice is not practicable and the circumstances warrant
such action, the telephone company may temporarily
discontinue service immediately.
The telephone company may make changes in its
communications facilities, equipment, operations or
procedures where such action is required in the operation
of its business. If these changes are expected to affect
the use or performance of your telephone equipment, the
telephone company will likely give you adequate notice to
allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.
Notice must be given to the telephone company upon
termination of your telephone from your line.
REN Number
On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating,
among other information, the Ringer Equivalence Number
(REN) for the equipment.
The REN is 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, you should contact
your local telephone company.
REN Number is located on the cabinet bottom.

telephone
installed in your home. If you don’t have
line jack
a modular jack, call your local phone
company to find out how to get one installed.
Installation
Digital Security System
Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to
protect against false ringing, unauthorized access, and
charges to your phone line.
INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless
telephones operate at frequencies that
may cause or receive interference with
nearby TVs, microwave ovens, 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, microwave
ovens, or VCR. If such interference continues,
move the cordless telephone farther away
from these appliances.
10
Certain other communications devices
may also use the 2.4 GHz frequency for
communication, and, if not properly set,
these devices may interfere with each
other and/or your new telephone. If you are
concerned with interference, please refer
to the owner’s manual for these devices
on how to properly set channels to avoid
interference. Typical devices that may use
the 2.4 GHz frequency for communication
include wireless audio/video senders,
wireless computer networks, multi-handset
cordless telephone systems, and some longrange cordless telephone systems.
11
Important Installation Guidelines
• Avoid sources of noise and heat, such as motors,
fluorescent lighting, microwave ovens, heating
appliances and direct sunlight.
• Avoid areas of excessive dust, moisture and low
temperature.
• Avoid other cordless telephones or personal
computers.
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning
storm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless
the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.
• Never touch non-insulated telephone wires or
terminals, unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone
lines.
