auto dial keys (programming can only be done from base unit):
1. With the phone “on hook”(inactive) and the faceplate
removed,press the recessed STORE key (see diagram).
2. Enter the desired telephone number (up to 15 digits in
length) to be stored.To enter a “pause”in the number
string,press the REDIAL key as necessary.
3. Press the STOREkey again.
4. Press the auto dial key where the number is to be stored.
Programming is now completed for that auto dial key.
To program additional keys,repeat this process.

REDIAL
The DCT1900 series can automatically redial the last number
dialed.On the handset, press the REDIAL key to redial the last
number.
USING THE HOLD KEY
The HOLDkey places the call on hold locally at the cordless
telephone.
To place a call on hold:
1. With a call active,press the red HOLD key on either the
handset or base unit.

line.The telephone will activate the line and remove the hold
at the original telephone.
TO MUTE THE SPEAKERPHONE
1. Press the MUTEkey on the base unit. The red LED above
the MUTEkey will illuminate. The party on the other end
will not be able to hear you when the MUTELED is lit.
2. Press the MUTEkey again to turn off the mute feature.
The MUTELED will go out.
CONVERTING FROM DESK TO WALL MOUNT
The DCT1900 series can be adapted for wall mounting applica-
tions.The conversion is easiest to make when the handset and
cords are not connected.
1. Located on the handset cradle,above the speaker grill, is the
wall/desk mount clip.Remove this clip by firmly pushing it
upward towards the top of the phone.
2. Flip the clip over (top to bottom) so that the protruding edge is
towards the top of the phone and replace it in its slot.This edge
will hold the handset when the phone is mounted on the wall.
3. Turn the telephone over so the bottom is up,facing you.
Place it on a non-abrasive surface to prevent scratching.
4. Locate and remove the mounting bracket.Firmly push back
and pull up to remove two of the four retaining tabs.
5. Rotate the mounting bracket 180º degrees clockwise,so that
the mounting eyelet on the bracket is facing in the same
direction as the other mounting eyelet located on the
bottom of the telephone.
6. Insert the top two retaining tabs of the mounting brackets
into the mounting bracket slots (located near the middle of
the telephone).Then firmly push down to insert the retaining
tabs on the opposite side of the mounting bracket.
7. Connect a 15-foot RJ-45 cord into the LINE jack on the back
of the phone.
8. Turn the telephone over,and slide the telephone down onto
the mounting posts of the wall bracket.Ensure that both
eyelets line up with the mounting posts.
REQUIREMENTS OF PART 68 - FCC RULES
This device has been granted a registration number by the Federal
Communications Commission,under Part 68 rules and regulations for direct con-
nection to the telephone lines.In order to comply with these FCC rules,the fol-
lowing instructions must be carefully read and applicable portions followed com-
pletely:
1.Direct connection to the telephone lines may be made only through the stan-
dard modular cord furnished,to the utility installed jack. No connection may be
made to party or coin phone lines.On the bottom of the phone is a label that
contains among other information,the FCC Registration Number and the Ringer
Equivalence number (REN) for this equipment.If requested this information must

RJ11C.
2.The telephone company,under certain circumstances, may temporarily discon-
tinue and make changes in facilities and services which may affect the operation
of the users' equipment:however,the user shall be given adequate notice in writ-
ing to allow the user to maintain uninterrupted service.
3.In certain circumstances, it may be necessary for the telephone company to
request information from youconcerning the equipment which you have connect-
ed to your telephone line.Upon request of the telephone
company,provide the FCC registration number and the ringer equivalence num-
ber of the equipment which is connected to your line;this information will be
found on the device.
4.If any of your telephone equipment is not operating properly,you should imme-
diately remove it from thetelephone line.It may cause harm to the telephone
network.
5.If the telephone company notes a problem, they may temporarily
discontinue service.When practical,they will notify you in advance
disconnection.If advance notice is not feasible, the telephone company must;
promptly notify you of such temporary discontinuance;afford the opportunity to
correct the condition;inform you of your rights to bring a complaint to the FCC
under their rules.
6.Repairs to the device may be made only by the manufacturer or an authorized

REQUIREMENTS OF PART 15 - FCC RULES
Statement according to FCC part 15.105: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.
Statement according to FCC part 15.21:Modifications not expressly approved
by this company could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
RF Exposure (Handset) (DECT):This device and its antenna must not be
co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
RF Exposure mobile (Base) (DECT):The internal/external antennas used for this
mobile transmitter must provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from
all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.
SAR:Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified
by the FCC with the UPCS handset transmitting at its highest certified power
level in all tested frequency bands.Although the SAR is determined at the high-
est certified power level,the actual SAR level of the UPCS handset while opera-
tion can be well below the maximum value.In general, the closer you are to a
wireless base station antenna,the lower the power output. Before a Handset
model is available for sale to the public,it must be tested and certified to the
FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted
requirement for safe exposure.The tests are performed in positions and loca-
tions at the ear as required by the FCC for each model.While there may be dif-
ferences between the SAR levels of various UPCS handsets and at various posi-
tions,they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.
Health and Safety Information FCC:Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals.
Your wireless handset is a radio transmitter and receiver.It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio fre-
quency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission 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 pro-
cedures specified in FCC/OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C (2001) and IEEE Std.
1528-2003 December 2003).The standards include a substantial safety mar-
gin designed to assure the safety of all persons,regardless of age and
health.The exposure standard for wireless UPCS handset 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) aver-
aged over one gram of tissue.The standard incorporates a substantial mar-
gin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for
any variations in.
