the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules for the United
States. It also complies with regulations RSS-210 and CS-03 of Industry
Canada (IC).
The REN is useful in determining the number of 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.
A label is located on the underside of the base unit containing either
the FCC registration number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) or
the IC registration number and Load Number.You must, upon request,
provide this information to your local telephone company.
This equipment is compatible with inductively coupled hearing aids.
IC (Industry Canada)
This telephone is registered for use in Canada.
Notice: The Industry Canada label identifies certified
equipment. This certification means that the equipment
meets certain telecommunications network, protective,
operational and safety requirements. Industry Canada
does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the
user’s satisfaction.
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 the equipment.

FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. 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 and correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures:
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is
permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local
telecommunications company.The equipment must also be
installed using an acceptable method of connections. The
customer should be aware that compliance with the above
conditions may not prevent degradation of service in situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized
Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any
repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or
equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications
company cause to request the user to disconnect the
equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical
ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and
internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected
together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural
areas.

of devices you may connect to the telephone loop
which is used by the device to prevent overloading.The
termination on a loop may consist of any combination
of devices subjected only to the requirement that the
sum of the REN does not exceed five(5.0).
Your telephone company may discontinue your service if your equipment
causes harm to the 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.
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 be made by the manufacturer or its
authorized agents or by others who may be authorized by the FCC. For
repair procedures, follow the instructions outlined under the VTECH
LimitedWarranty.
This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry Canada.
