REVIEW  
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.  
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.

Licensed under US Patent 6,427,009.  
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.  
Certain other communications devices may also use the 5.8 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  
5.8 GHz frequency for communication include wireless audio/video senders,  
wireless computer networks, multi-handset cordless telephone systems, and  
some long-range cordless telephone systems.
