The unit can record information of up to 50 different callers in the Caller List. The Caller List information is sorted by the most recent to the oldest call. When the 51st call is received, the rst call is deleted. Using the list, you can automatically call back a caller. You can store the callers names and numbers from the Caller List into the directory. If you subscribe to both Caller ID and Call Waiting services, when a second call is received while talking, the new callers name and phone number will be displayed (p. 54).

FCC 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. 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 RENs of all devices connected to one line should not exceed ve (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 FCC Part 68. If such changes can be reasonably expected to render any customer terminal equipment incompatible with telephone company communications facilities, or require modication 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 briey 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. 82 CAUTION:

Any changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the users 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.
