Maintenance Information
Although your unit is designed to be maintenance free, it contains sensitive electronic
parts. Treat it with care to assure the best performance.
Avoid Rough Treatment: Avoid dropping the unit. The original packaging should be
used for protection if you must ship the unit. Dropping or damaging the unit will void the
warranty.
Cleaning: The hard plastic casing on your unit has a durable finish that should retain its
original luster for many years. Clean exposed parts with a soft, slightly damp cloth. To
remove stains, use a mild soap. Never use detergents, excess water, treated cloths,
harsh cleaning agents, or sprays.

State Law Rights
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary
from state to state.
FCC Registration and Repair Information
Your new product has been registered with the Federal Communication Commission
(FCC). This product complies with standards in Part 68 of the FCC Rules. The FCC
requires us to provide you with the following information:
Connection and Use with the Nationwide Telephone Network
The FCC requires that you connect your product to the nationwide telephone network
through a modular telephone outlet or jack. The modular telephone outlet or jack to which
the telephone must be connected is a USOC RJ-11C or RJ-11W. This equipment may
not be used with Party Line Service or with Coin Telephone Lines.
Notification to the Telephone Company
The FCC requires that upon request of your local telephone company, you provide the
following information: a) The “line” to which you will connect the telephone equipment
(that is, your phone number), and b) The telephone equipment’s FCC registration number
and ringer equivalence number (REN). These numbers are on the back or bottom of your
telephone equipment. The REN is used to determine how many devices you may connect
to your telephone line and still have them ring when your telephone line is called. In most,
but not all areas, the sum of all REN’s should be 5 or less. You may want to contact your
local telephone company.
Repair Instructions
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 outlet until the problem has been
corrected. Repairs to the telephone equipment can only be made by the manufacturer or
its authorized agents or by others who may be authorized by the FCC. For repair
procedures, follow instruction outlined under the "Limited Warranty".
Rights of the Telephone Company
If your product is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may
temporarily discontinue your telephone service. If possible, they’ll notify you before they
interrupt service. If advance notice isn’t practical, you’ll be given the opportunity to correct
the problem, and you will be informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC notified
as soon as possible.
Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or
procedures that could affect the proper functioning of your product. If such changes are
planned, you will be notified.

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 needed.
