Requirements for Canada

Department of Communications — Government of Canada Notice

The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified

equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain

telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements.

The Department does not guarantee that the equipment will operate to

the user’s satisfaction. 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. These

precautions may be particularly important in rural areas. The manufacturer

requires that you connect your Lifeline Cordless Phone to the nationwide

telephone network through a modular telephone jack (USOC RJ11C, RJ11W

or RJ14). This equipment may not be used with coin telephone lines or party

lines. Contact the local public utility commission, public service commission or

corporation commission for information.

Notiﬁcation for the Telephone Company

Upon request of your local telephone company, you are required to provide

them with the following information:

1. The “Line” to which you will connect your Lifeline Cordless Phone (that is,

your phone number); and

2. The Lifeline Cordless Phone’s FCC Registration Number and Ringer

Equivalence Number (REN). Those numbers are on the bottom of your

Lifeline Cordless Phone. The REN is used to determine how many devices

that may be connected to a telephone line.

Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in

response to an incoming call. In most, but not all, areas, the sum of RENs

should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may

be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact your local

telephone company. 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., 03 is a REN of 0.3).

Repair Information

If trouble is experienced with this equipment please contact Philips Lifeline

for repair or warranty information. If the equipment is causing harm to the

telephone network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect

the equipment until the problem is resolved.
