INTRODUCTION

Your GE 900 MHz Cordless Telephone is designed to give you flexibility in use and high quality performance. To get the most from your new cordless telephone, we suggest that you take a few minutes right now to read through this instruction manual.

The following is important information regarding the use of your cordless phone:

• Digital Security System

When you place the Handset in the base, the unit verifies it’s security code which prevents false ringing from other cordless telephones. After a power outage or battery replacement, you should place the Handset in the base for about 20 seconds to reset the code.

• IMPORTANT: You Should Own a Non-Cordless Phone Too

Because cordless phones operate on electricity, you should have at least one phone in your home that is not cordless, in case the power in your home goes out.

• Installation Note

Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR. If such interference continues, move the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR.

Modular Jack Requirements

You need an RJ11(CA11A) type modular jack, which is the most common type of phone jack and might look like the one pictured here. If you don’t have a modular jack, call your local phone company to find out how to get one installed.
