NTRODUCTION
Your 900 MHz 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 (CA11A) 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.

On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information, the FCC
Registration 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.

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.
