INSTALLING THE PHONE
Installation Note: Some cordless telephones operate at the 2.4 GHz fre-
quency and may cause interference with, or receive interference from, near-
by TVs, microwave ovens, and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interfer-
ence, the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed near or on top
of a TV, microwave oven, or VCR. If such interference continues, move the
cordless telephone farther away from these appliances. Certain other com-
munications devices may also operate at the 2.4 GHz frequency for commu-
nication, and, if not properly set, these devices may interfere with each other
and/or your new telephone. If you are concerned with interference, please
refer to the owner's manual for these devices on how to properly set chan-
nels to avoid interference. Typical devices that may use the 2.4 GHz frequen-
cy for communication include wireless audio/video senders, wireless com-
puter networks, multi-handset cordless telephone systems, and some long-
range cordless telephone systems.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC) PART 68
STATEMENT
The Motorola M361S complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the require-
ments adopted by the Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments
(ACTA). On the bottom of this equipment is a label that contains, among oth-
er information, a product identifier in format US: AAAEQ##TXXXX. If request-
ed, this information must be provided to the telephone company.
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is used to determine the number of
devices that may be connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on the
telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incom-
ing call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs 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 RENs, contact your local telephone com-
pany.For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is
part of the product identifier that has the format US: AAAEQ##TXXXX. The
digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 02 is a
REN of 0.2). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.
This equipment uses the following USOC jack: RJ11C. 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 adopt-
ed 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.
