We bring good things to life.
INTRODUCTION
Your 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.
IMPORTANT: 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.
CAUTION: When using telephone equipment, there are basic safety instructions that should always be followed. Refer to the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS provided with this product and save them for future reference.

MODULAR JACK REQUIREMENTS
To properly connect your phone to your telephone lines, you will need an RJ11 (CA11A) type modular phone jack, which 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.
DIGITAL SECURITY SYSTEM
Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to provide protection against false ringing, unauthorized access, and charges to your phone line.
When you place the handset in the base, the unit verifies its security code. After a power outage or battery replacement, you should place the handset in the base for about 20 seconds to reset the code.
CAUTION: |
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK |
DO NOT OPEN |
1.Set the ringer switch (on the handset front) to ON, and place handset in the cradle on the base.
2.Plug the power supply into the power jack on the bottom of the base and the other end into an electrical outlet. The “in use/charge” indicator comes on verifying the battery is charging.
Allow the phone to charge for 12 hours prior to first use. If you don’t properly charge the phone, battery performance will be compromised.

INSTALLATION AND SET UP
INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs, microwave ovens, 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, microwave oven, or VCR. If interference continues, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.
Certain other communications devices may also use the 900 MHz frequency for communication, and, if properly set, these devices may interfere with each other and/or your new telephone. If you are concerned with interference, please refer to the owner’s manual for these devices on how to properly set channels to avoid interference. Typical devices that may use the 900 MHz frequency for communication include wireless audio/video senders, wireless computer networks,

•Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals, unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.
•Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
•Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.

| Is the handset in use/charge light on? |
| Is the telephone line cord connected to the base unit and the |

| base unit. |
| • Make sure the battery is properly charged (12 hours). |
| • Is the battery pack installed correctly? |

| and reinstall the battery pack. Place handset in the base for 10 |
| seconds to allow it to reinitialize. |
TELEPHONE NETWORK INFORMATION
Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the telephone network, the telephone company, where practicable, may notify you that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. Where prior notice is not practicable and the circumstances warrant such action, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue service immediately.
The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment, operations or procedures where such action is required in the operation of its business. If these changes are expected to affect the use or performance of your telephone equipment, the telephone company will likely give you adequate notice to allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.
Notice must be given to the telephone company upon termination of your telephone from your line.
REN NUMBER
On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information, the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment.
The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have all of these devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most (but not all) areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line should not exceed 5. To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line as determined by the REN, you should contact your local telephone company.
