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 (that is, the antenna for radio or television that is  
“receiving” the interference).  
• Reorient or relocate and increase the separation between the telecommunications equipment and

Notification to the Local Telephone Company  
Setting Up the Caller ID Menu  
Installing the Phone  
On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information, the US number  
and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment. You must, upon request, provide this  
information to your telephone company.  
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.  
Your phone features a speakerphone for ease of use and convenience during a phone  
conversation. At any time during a conversation, you can lift the handset to stop using  
the speakerphone. Likewise, when you are using the handset, press the speaker button  
and place the handset in the cradle to switch to the speakerphone.  
You should not plug the telephone into the modular jack while setting up the Caller ID  
menu.  
Before You Begin  
Your phone should be placed on a level surface, such as a desk or table top, or you can  
mount it on a wall. A wall mounting pedestal is packaged with your phone.

notice, in writing, to allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.
