FCC STATEMENT

We designed your phone to conform to federal regulations and you can
connect it to most phone lines.  Telephones (or other products, such as
answering machines) that you connect to the phone line draw power from the
line. We refer to this power draw as the ringer equivalence number, or REN.
If you use more than one product on the line, add the RENs. If the total is
more than five, or three in rural areas, your phones might not ring.

Your telephone complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules.  You must, upon request,
provide the FCC registration number and the REN to your telephone company.
These numbers are located on the bottom of the telephone.

Your local telephone company might offer a special telephone service
commonly called Roll over or Hunt.  This service automatically routes
incoming calls to be unused telephone line if the called line is busy.
Contact your local telephone company for more information regarding this
handy service.
