mission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general
population. The guidelines are based on the safety standards previously
set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:
This EUT has been shown to be capable of compliance for localized
specific absorption rate > (SAR) for uncontrolled environment/general
population exposure limits specified in ANSI/IEEE> Std. C95.1-1992
and had been tested in accordance with the measurement procedures
specified in FCC/OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C (2001) and IEEE Std.
1528-2003 Detember 2003).
The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure
the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure
standard for wireless UPCS headset employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the
FCC and IC Canada is 1.6W/kg *.
* In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the
public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The
standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional
protection for the public and to account for any variations in.

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be con-
nected 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 the RENs should not exceed (5.0). To be
certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as
determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company.
If your home has specialty wired alarm equipment connected to the
telephone line, ensure the installation of this device does not disable
your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable
alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified in-
staller.
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone
company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of
service may be required. But if advance notice isn’t practical, the tele-
phone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also,
you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you
believe it is necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment,
operations or procedures that could affect the operation of the equip-
ment. If this happens the telephone company will provide advanced
notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain
uninterrupted service.
If this equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the tele-
phone company may request that you disconnect the equipment until
the problem is solved.
Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the
state public utility commission, public service commission or corporation
commission for information.
NOTICE: If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected
to the telephone line, ensure the installation of this [equipment] does

NOTICE: This equipment meets the applicable Industry Canada Terminal
Equipment Technical Specifications. This is confirmed by the registration
number.
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device
provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to
be connected to a telephone interface. The termination of an interface
may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the require-
ment that the sum of the ringe equivalence numbers of all the devices
does not exceed 5.
Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representa-
tive designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the
user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the tele-
communications 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. Caution: Users should NOT
attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the
appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

USA Declaration
USA FCC part 15
For wireless products and telephones
FCC Notice to Users/Product Statements
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, and (2) This device
must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
Users are not permitted to make changes or modify the device in any way.
WARNING: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by
GN Netcom. Inc. Netcom will void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Applies to wireless products only
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the 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 to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Applies for wireless products with base station only
The user must place the base at least 8” (20cm) or more from any per-
sonnel and must not be co-loaded or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter in order to comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements.
RF Exposure Headset (US DECT):
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified
by the FCC with the UPCS headset transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the
actual SAR level of the UPCS headset while operation can be well below
the maximum value. This is because the headset is designed to operate
at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach
the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station
antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a Headset model is available for sale to the public, it must be
tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit estab-
lished by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure.
The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear) as
required by the FCC for each model.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various UPCS
headsets and at various positions, they all meet the government
requirement for safe exposure.
