General Regulatory and Compliance Notices Important Safety Instructions If applicable, when using telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and personal injury, including the following:

Do not use this product near water for example, near a bathtub, kitchen sink, laundry tub, or swimming pool, or in a wet basement;

Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm, as there may be a remote risk of electrical shock due to lightning;

Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak;

Use only the power cord and batteries indicated in this manual;

Do not dispose of batteries in fire, as they may explode check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions. Telephone Line Cord Caution To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger (e.g., 24 AWG) UL Listed or CSA Certified Telecommunication Line Cord. Coaxial Cable If applicable, the coaxial cable screen shield needs to be connected to the Earth at the building entrance per ANSI/NFPA 70, the National Electrical Code (NEC), in particular Section 820.93, Grounding of Outer Conductive Shield of a Coaxial Cable, or in accordance with local regulation. For Audio/Video Apparatus This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installers attention to Section 820.93 of the National Electric Code (NEC), which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the coaxial cable shield shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical. Please heed all warnings; read, keep and follow all instructions. Do not use this apparatus near water and only clean with dry cloth. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus including amplifiers that produce heat. FCC Class B Equipment 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 and correct the interference by implementing one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna;

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver;

Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected;

Consult the dealer or an experience radio or television technician for help. Modifications The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications made to this device that are not expressly approved by Actiontec Electronics, Inc, may void the users authority to operate the equipment. Declaration of conformity for products marked with the FCC logo United States only. This devices complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with ISED license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference;

2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. ISED Regulations This product meets the applicable Innovation, Science, and Economic Development Canada technical specifications CAN ICES-3(B) / NMB-3(B). The Class [B] digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulation. If applicable, the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) indicates the maximum number of devices allowed to be connected to a tele-

phone interface. The termination of an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the RENs of all of the devices not exceed five. Important Note If applicable, this equipment complies with FCC & ISED radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 30 cm between the radiator and your body. For product available in the USA market, only channel 1~11 can be operated. Selection of other channels is not possible. The device could automatically discontinue transmission in case of absence of information to transmit, or operational failure. Note that this is not intended to prohibit transmission of control or signaling information or the use of repetitive codes where required by the technology. The device for the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor usage to reduce potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems. Users should also be advised that high-power radars are allocated as primary users (i.e. priority users) of the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz and that these radars could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices. The maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the band 5725-5825 MHz shall comply with the e.i.r.p. limits specified for point-

to-point and non point-to-point operation as appropriate. The transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. For questions regarding your product or the FCC/ISED declaration, contact:
