FCC Part 68  
The FCC requires that you connect your  
cordless telephone to the nationwide telephone  
network through a modular telephone jack  
(USOC RJ11C or RJ11W).  
This equipment is compatible with inductively  
coupled hearing aids.  
Your telephone company may discontinue your

telephone network. They will notify you in  
advance of disconnection, if possible. During  
notification, you will be informed of your right to  
file a complaint with the FCC.  
FCC Part 15  
Warning:Changes or modifications to this unit  
not expressly approved by the party  
responsible for compliance could  
void the user's authority to operate

If it is determined that your telephone equipment  
is malfunctioning, the FCC requires that it not be  
used and that it be unplugged from the modular  
jack until the problem has been corrected.  
Repairs to this telephone equipment can only

harmful interference to radio or television  
reception, which can be determined by turning

devices you may connect to your telephone line  
and still enable the devices to ring when you  
receive a call. The general rule is that the REN  
value should not exceed 5.0 total; however,  
contact your local telephone company for the  
specific number in your area.
