IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (CONTINUED)  
1. If your local telephone exchange only accepts Pulse dialing, you may have to  
switch the Tone/Pulse switch to Tone to access certain services that require  
Tone signalling (such as home banking). After the initial line is connected to the  
number you are calling, switch the Tone/Pulse switch to Tone to access Tone  
signalling. When you have completed your call, please switch the Tone/Pulse  
switch back to Pulse.  
2. Hearing aid compatibility - Your telephone is compatible for use with hearing aids.  
FCC and Phone Company Information  
Your telephone company is required by the Federal Communications Commission  
to allow you to connect FCC registered telephones to their lines. The FCC requires  
you to provide information, if requested by the local telephone company, about the  
connection of an FCC registered telephone to their lines. They may ask you for the  
FCC registration number and the ringer equivalence number (REN); both are at the  
bottom of the base. They may also ask for the Universal Service Order Code  
(USOC), which is the RJ-11C.  
The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices which may be connected to  
the telephone line. Excessive REN’s on the telephone line may result in the devices  
not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the  
REN’s should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may  
be connected to the line, as determined by the total REN’s, contact the telephone  
company to determine the maximum REN for the calling area.  
Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the telephone  
network, the telephone company shall, where practical, 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. In case of such temporary  
discontinuance, the telephone company must: (1) promptly notify you of such  
temporary discontinuance; (2) afford you the opportunity to correct the situation; (3)  
inform you of your right to bring a complaint to the Commission pursuant to  
procedures set forth in of Part 68 of FCC Rules and Regulations.  
The telephone company may make changes in its communication facilities,  
equipment operations or procedures where such action is required in the operation  
of its business and not consistent with FCC Rules and Regulations. If these  
changes are expected to affect the use of performance of your telephone  
equipment, the telephone company must give you adequate notice in writing, to  
allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.  
This equipment cannot be used on telephone company provided coin service.  
Connection to Party Line Service is subject to state tariffs.  
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by (state party responsible  
for compliance) can void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
