Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of a Mæstro 4525 cordless telephone.

Walking and talking with cordless technology

With the Mæstro 4525 you are no longer tied to your phone. You can move from room to room, or even outside while on a call. Now you’re mobile!

Secure to roam your home

Mæstro 4525 provides 1 million different security codes so that only your handset will work with your base.

Access to Advanced Features

In addition, Mæstro 4525 provides you with advanced features to save you time, and provide you with information. Some of these features are:

Name and number directory

stores up to 30 personal numbers for easy dialing.

Number and name display

shows you the number you’re dialing. With Caller ID service (available from your telephone company), see the incoming caller’s name and number before you answer the call.

Caller’s list

service to keep track of everyone who called (up to 30 entries), and allows you to easily return their call.

to achieve optimum clarity.

By the way...

Cordless telephones transmit conversations using radio waves, so there is a possibility that your conversations will be overheard by others. They should not be treated as totally conﬁdential.

The base must be located where the signals will not be blocked by large metal objects (metal fencing, large applicances, etc), or interfered with by electronic devices (microwave ovens, computers, stereos, etc).

Your handset is powered by rechargeable batteries, which must be charged and maintained as described in the Installation chapter.

Radio/TV interference

Telephones equipped with electronic push-key dials generate and use radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used properly and in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference to radio and television reception.

These telephones have been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the speciﬁcations in Part 15 of the FCC rules. While these rules are designed to provide reasonable protection, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. You can determine whether interference occurs by monitoring your radio or television reception while placing a call.

If your telephone causes interference, one of the following measures may correct the problem:

— Re-orient or relocate the receiving

TV or radio antenna, where this may be done safely.

— To the extent possible, move the

telephone and the radio or television farther away from each other, or connect the telephone and the radio or television to outlets on separate circuits.

— Consult the dealer or an experience

radio/television technician for additional suggestions.

Note: FCC registration does not constitute an expressed or implied guarantee of performance.

Rights of the telephone company

If your telephone causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may stop your service temporarily or ask you to remove your equipment until the problem is resolved. If possible, they will notify you in advance. If advance notice is not practical, you will be notiﬁed as soon as possible and be given the opportunity to correct the situation. Y ou will also be informed of your right to ﬁle a complaint with the FCC.

Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the proper function of your telephone. If they do, you will be notiﬁed in advance to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted telephone service.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) notice

FCC registration number

This telephone equipment complies with Part 68, Rules and Regulations, of the FCC for direct connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network. (The FCC registration number appears on a sticker afﬁxed to the bottom of the telephone.)

Your connection to the telephone line must comply with these FCC rules:

— Use only an FCC standard RJ11W/

RJ14W or RJ11C/RJ14C network interface jack and FCC-compliant line cord and plug to connect this telephone to the telephone line. (To connect the telephone, press the small plastic tab on the plug at the end of the telephone's line cord. Insert into a wall or baseboard jack until it clicks. To disconnect, press the tab and pull out.)

— If a network interface jack is not

already installed in your location, you can order one from your telephone company. Order RJ11W/ RJ14W for wall-mounted telephones or RJ11C/RJ14C for desk or table use. In some states, customers are permitted to install their own jacks.

— Your telephone may not be

connected to a party line or coin telephone line. Connection to Party Line Service is subject to state tariffs. (Contact the state public utility commission, public service commission, or corporation commission for information.)

— It is no longer necessary to notify

the telephone company of your telephone's Registration and REN numbers. However, you must provide this information to the telephone company if they request it.

— If you make changes or modiﬁca-

tions not expressly approved by the manufacturer, you could void your authority to operate the equipment.

Signaling method

This unit’s push-key dial pad allows it to signal in tones (DTMF). It can complete calls to local and longdistance lines and can also complete long-distance calls using computer telephone systems such as MCI™ or SPRINT™.

MCI is a trademark of MCI. SPRINT is a trademark of United Telecommunications.

Ringer Equivalence Number

The FCC Registration label (on bottom of telephone) includes a Ringer Equivalence Number (REN), which is used to determine the number of devices you may connect to your telephone line. A high total REN may prevent telephones from ringing in response to an incoming call and may make placing calls difﬁcult. In most areas, a total REN of 5 should permit normal telephone operation. To determine the total REN allowed on your telephone line, consult your local telephone company.

Hearing aids

This telephone is compatible with hearing aids equipped with an appropriate telecoil option.
