Interference Information
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.
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.
Privacy of Communications may not be ensured when using this product.
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 (that is, the antenna for
radio or television that is “receiving” the interference).
• Reorient or relocate and increase the separation between the
telecommunications equipment and receiving antenna.
• Connect the telecommunications equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiving antenna is connected.
If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult
your dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional
suggestions. Also, the Federal Communications Commission has prepared
a helpful booklet, “How To Identify and Resolve Radio/TV Interference
Problems.” This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing
Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. Please specify stock number 004-000-
00345-4 when ordering copies.

Equipment Approval Information
Your telephone equipment is approved for connection to the Public
Switched Telephone Network and is in compliance with parts 15 and 68,
FCC Rules and Regulations and the Technical Requirements for Telephone
Terminal Equipment published by ACTA.
1 Notification to the Local Telephone Company
On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information,
the US number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment. You
must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone company.
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.
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring
and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68
rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone
cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to
be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See
installation instructions for details.
Notes
• This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the
telephone company.
• Party lines are subject to state tariffs, and therefore, you may not be
able to use your own telephone equipment if you are on a party line.
Check with your local telephone company.
• Notice must be given to the telephone company upon permanent
disconnection of your telephone from your line.
• If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the
telephone line, ensure the installation of this product does not disable
your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable
alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified
installer.
US Number is located on the cabinet bottom.
REN Number is located on the cabinet bottom.
2 Rights of the Telephone Company
Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the
telephone network, the telephone company shall, where practicable,
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. In case of such temporary discontinuance, the
telephone company must: (1) promptly notify you of such temporary
discontinuance; (2) afford you the opportunity to correct the situation;
and (3) inform you of your right to bring a complaint to the Commission
pursuant to procedures set forth in Subpart E of Part 68, FCC Rules and
Regulations.
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 and not inconsistent with FCC
Rules and Regulations. If these changes are expected to affect the use
or performance of your telephone equipment, the telephone company
must give you adequate notice, in writing, to allow you to maintain
uninterrupted service.
Installing the Phone
Your telephone should be placed on a level surface such as a desk or table
top, or you can mount it on a wall. A desktop/wall mounting pedestal is
built into the base of the phone.
1. Slide the RINGER volume switch (on the handset) to the desired volume.
2. Set the receiver volume switch (on the handset) to the desired
listening volume.
3. Plug the telephone line cord into a modular wall phone jack.
4. Feed the cord through the grooves as shown in the picture below.
Wall Mount Installation
Your telephone may also be mounted on a wall plate (not included).
1. Plug the telephone line cord into a
modular wall phone jack.
2. Slip the mounting holes on the base over the wall plate posts and firmly slide
the unit down into place (wall plate not included).
NOTE: In desktop or wall mount mode, you may want to
wrap the excess telephone line cord around the mounting
bracket on the bottom of the base.
Telephone Operation
Redial
This unit redials up to 32 digits. To automatically redial the last number
you called:
1. Pick up the handset and wait for a dial tone.
2. Press the redial button.
Flash
Press the flash button instead of the hook switch to activate custom
calling services such as call waiting or call transfer. Custom calling
services are provided by the phone company.
Receiver Volume
You may control the listening level with the volume switch on the bottom
of the handset. It has 3 levels: lo, mid, and high.
Ringer Volume
You may control the ringer volume level with the switch located above the
touch tone pad on the handset.
= ringer tone will be loud
= ringer tone will be low
= telephone will not ring
Troubleshooting Tips
No dial tone.
• Press and release the hook switch. Check the hook switch: Does it fully
extend when the handset is lifted from the cradle?
Phone doesn’t ring.
• Make sure RINGER switch (located on the handset) is set to loud or low.
• Are you using too many phones on one line? (The total REN of all
phones on the same line should not be greater than the maximum
REN for your calling area. See Equipment Approval Information).
Other party cannot hear you.
• Make sure phone cord is securely plugged in.
• Make sure extension phones are on the hook at the same time you’re
using the phone. It is normal for the volume to drop when additional
extension phones are used at the same time.
Phone “howls” when handset is placed near the base and handset volume
level is too high.
• This is normal feedback due to handset volume level being set
to maximum.
General Product Care
To keep your telephone working and looking good, follow these guidelines:
• Avoid putting the phone near heating appliances and devices that
generate electrical noise (for example, motors or fluorescent lamps).
• Do not expose to direct sunlight or moisture.
• Avoid dropping and other rough treatment to the phone.
• Clean with a soft cloth.
• Never use a strong cleaning agent or abrasive powder because this
will damage the finish.
• Retain the original packaging in case you need to ship the phone at a
later date.
