NTRODUCTION
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.

You need an RJ11 type modular jack, which is the most common type of phone
jack and 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.

IGITAL ECURITY YSTEM
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.
INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may
cause interference to nearby TVs 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 or VCR.
If interference continues, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or
VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.
FCC R EGISTRATION I NFORMATION
Your telephone equipment is registered with the Federal Communications Commission and is in compliance with parts 15 and
68, FCC Rules and Regulations.
1 Notification to the Local Telephone Company

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
I
devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most (but not all) areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices
NSTALLATION
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.
Notes

• This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company. 6
• 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.

2 Rights of the Telephone Company
3
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.
