telephone jack, which might look like the one pictured

here, installed in your home. If you don’t have a

modular jack, call your local phone company to find

Installation

Digital Security System

Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to protect 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 power outage or battery replacement, you should place the handset in

the base for about 20 seconds to reset the code.

INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate

at frequencies that may cause or receive interference

with 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 ovens, or VCR. If such interference continues,

move the cordless telephone farther away from these

appliances. Certain other communications devices may

also use the 5.8 GHz frequency for communication, and,

if not properly set, these devices may interfere with each

other and/or your new telephone. If you are concerned

with interference, please refer to the User’s Guide for

these devices on how to properly set channels to avoid

interference. Typical devices that may use the 5.8 GHz

frequency for communication include wireless audio/video

senders, wireless computer networks, multi-handset

cordless telephone systems, and some long-range cordless

telephone systems.

Important Installation Guidelines

• Avoid sources of noise and heat, such as motors, fluorescent lighting,

microwave ovens, heating appliances and direct sunlight.

• Avoid areas of excessive dust, moisture and low temperature.
• Avoid other cordless telephones or personal computers.
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is

specifically designed for wet locations.

• Never touch non-insulated telephone wires or terminals, unless the

telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.

• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

Interference Information

This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy which

may interfere with residential radio and television reception if

not properly installed and used in accordance with instructions

contained in this manual. Reasonable protection against such

interference is ensured, although there is no guarantee this will not

occur in a given installation. If interference is suspected and verified

by switching this equipment on and off, the user is encouraged

to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following

measures: Reorient the radio/television receiver’s antenna, relocate

the equipment with respect to the receiver, plug the equipment

and receiver into separate circuit outlets. The user may also wish

to consult a qualified radio/television technician for additional

suggestions. This equipment has been fully tested and complies

with all limits for Class B computing devices pursuant to part 15 FCC

Rules and Regulations.

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.

REN Number is located on the back of the cabinet.

Call Waiting Caller ID

Provided you subscribe to Call Waiting Caller ID service from your phone

company; if you receive an incoming call and you are already on the phone,

a beep indicates the presence of a Call Waiting call on the line. Only the

handset that is in use at the time of the call will display and store the Call

Waiting Caller ID information.
• When you hear the call waiting beep in the handset receiver, press the

flash/prog button to put the current call on hold and answer the incoming

call. Press flash/prog again to return to the original call.

Receiving CID Records

When you receive a call, the Caller ID information is transmitted between the

first and second ring. The Caller ID information appears on the display while

the phone rings, giving you a chance to monitor the information and decide

whether or not to answer the call.

Storing CID Records (In CID Memory)

If you are not at home or cannot answer, your telephone’s Caller ID memory

stores the data for the 40 most recent calls you received so you can see who

called while you were unavailable. When the 41st call is received, the oldest

Caller ID record (1st call) is automatically deleted.
You may review the stored information at any time. Calls received since your

last review show as

NEW in the display. Calls that have not been previously

reviewed but were received from the same number more than once show as

REPT in the display.

Reviewing CID Records

As calls are received and stored, the display is updated to let you know how

many calls have been received. To scroll CID records:
1. Make sure the phone is

OFF (not in talk mode).

2. Press the Caller ID/vol (-) button to review the newest CID record.
3. Press the Caller ID/vol (+) button to review the oldest CID record first

Dialing a Caller ID Number

1. Make sure the phone is

OFF (not in TALK mode).

2. Use the Caller ID/vol (- or +) button to display the desired record.
3. Press talk/end/call back. The number dials automatically.

NOTE: Depending on (a) how the incoming caller’s phone

number is formatted when it is received, and (b) whether

or not you previously pre-programmed your local area

code into the set up menu, you may need to adjust the

format of the incoming caller’s stored phone number

before making the call, press the format button to adjust

the number, and try again.
