Troubleshooting tips

Warning! Changes or modifications to this unit not

expressly approved by Consumerware could void

the FCC authority to operate this equipment. This

includes the addition of any external antenna device.

To comply with FCC regulations, the following

conditions must be met:

This device complies with Part 68

of the FCC rules.

The label on the bottom of this device

contains the FCC registration number and

ringer equivalence number.

If requested by the telephone company, the FCC

registration number of this device and the ringer

equivalence number must be reported. For reliable

operation, the sum of the ringer equivalence numbers

for devices connected to a single telephone line should

not exceed five. This device must not be installed on

coin operated telephone lines or party lines.

This device complies with Part 15

of the FCC rules.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1.This device may not cause harmful interference.

2.This device must accept any interference

received, including interference that may

cause undesired operation.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable

protection against harmful interference in a

residential installation.

Rights of the telephone company

The FCC has granted the telephone company the

right to disconnect service in the event that your

phone causes problems on the telephone line. In

addition, the telephone company may make changes

in facilities and services which may affect the operation

of your unit. Your telephone company must give

adequate notice in writing prior to such actions to

allow you time for making necessary arrangements

to continue uninterrupted service.

If you are having trouble with your telephone service,

you must first disconnect your phone to determine

if it is the cause of your problem. If you determine

that it is the cause, you must leave it disconnected

until the trouble has been corrected.

Radio interference

Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies

that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs.

To minimize or prevent such interference, the system

base should not be placed near or on top of a TV

or VCR. Moving the base farther away from the TV

or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.

There is no guarantee that interference will not occur

in a particular installation. If this telephone does not

cause harmful interference to radio or television

reception, which can be determined by turning the

system off an on, the user is encouraged to try to

correct the interference by one or more of the

following measures:

1.Increase the separation between base station

and receiver.

2.Connect the base station into an outlet on a circuit

different from that to which the receiver is

connected.

3.Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV

technician for help.

Consumerware, Inc. or an authorized repair station.
