MAXIMIZE BATTERY PERFORMANCE
The freedom that your cordless telephone can offer is fully dependent on the performance of the rechargeable battery in the handset. To maximize the battery performance, follow these guidelines:
Charge it for a full 12 hours
Before initial use of your new battery, charge it for 12 hours continu- ously. The proper initial charging is very important to maximize the battery performance.
Keep the contacts clean
You can never fully recharge the battery if the contacts are dirty. Clean all the contacts – two at the bottom of handset and two in the base cradle – periodically using a pencil eraser.
Do not replace the handset in the base after each call
Repeated short charging creates a memory effect in the battery. Once a rechargeable battery acquires this “short memory”, it sends a “low battery” signal even when it is almost fully charged. The battery then needs to be charged frequently. To avoid this, leave the handset away from the cradle until it really needs recharging.
Refresh battery
If your battery seems to need recharging more often than usual, it may have lost part of its charging capacity because of premature recharges. To bring back its full capacity, try “refreshing” the battery:
1.First discharge the battery by leaving the handset in TALK mode until Battery Low indication turns on. (Disconnect the base from the telephone line, so that your line is not busy all the time.)
2.Then charge it for 12 continuous hours.
3.Repeat the above once more.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
REN 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 REN number of this phone is located on the bottom of the base unit. The termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.

Cordless telephones use radio frequencies to allow mobility. This affects the performance of your phone.
1. NOISE
Electrical pulse noise is present in most homes at one time or another. This is most intense during electrical storms. Certain kinds of electrical equipment, such as light dimmers, fluorescent bulbs, motors, fans, etc., also generate pulse noise.
Because radio frequencies are suscep- tible to this, you may on occasion hear pulse noise through the handset. This is usually only a minor annoyance and should not be interpreted as a defect of the phone.
2. RANGE
Because radio frequencies are used, the location of the base station can affect the operating range of the phone. Try several locations and choose the one that gives the clearest signal to the handset. (Turning in a circle while holding the handset may also increase the operating range.)
3. INTERFERENCE
Electronic circuits activate a relay to
connect the unit to your telephone line. These electronic circuits operate in the radio frequency spectrum. While several protection circuits are used to prevent unwanted signals, there may be periods when these unwanted signals enter the base station. You may hear click or hear the relay activate when you are not using the cordless handset. If this occurs frequently, you can minimize or eliminate the problem by lowering the height of the base station or relocating the base station. It may also be helpful to change the operating channel and/or the security code setting.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
NOTICE:
Privacy of communications may not be ensured when using this telephone. Other devices, including other cordless telephones, may interfere with the operation of this cordless telephone or cause noise during operation. Units without coded access may be accessed by other radio communication systems. Cordless telephones must not cause interference to any licensed radio service.
The Industry Canada Label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements. The ministry does not guarantee that the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of construction.
