O P E R A T I N G R A N G E
This cordless telephone operates at the
maximum power allowed by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC).
Even so, the handset and base can
communicate over only a certain distance
—which can vary with the locations of the
base and handset, the weather, and the
construction of your home or office.
If the handset is moved to a point where
the base and handset can no longer
communicate, the handset will sound two
short beeps when you make a call,
indicating that you are out of range. Move
close to the base to restore normal
operation.
If you receive a call while you are out of
range, the handset might not ring — or if
it does ring, the call might not connect
when you press P. Move closer to the
base, then press P to answer the call.
If you move out of range during a phone
conversation, you will hear noise or
interference. To improve reception, move
closer to the base.
If you move out of range while on a call,
the phone will be left “off the hook.” To
hang up properly, walk back into range,
periodically pressing P until the
PHONE light goes off.
Changing Channels
This cordless telephone has an advanced
AutoSelect feature that minimizes the
chance of interference.
In the unlikely event that you notice noise or
interference while using the handset:
1 Press C.
2 If the interference does not clear,
continue to press C until you find
a clear channel (your call will not be
interrupted
—OR—
Move closer to the base and press
C.
NOTE: You must be in range to change
channels.

Storing a Pause
In a Memory Dial Number
If this phone is connected to a switchboard,
you might have to dial an access number
(usually 9) to get an outside line. You can

switchboard enough time to get an outside
line dial tone.

press and hold down the number
button that comes before the pause,
until you hear the second beep. This
inserts a 1.5 second pause after that
digit. If you hold the number button
down longer, you will hear more beeps
as additional pauses are stored.
NOTE: Each pause you store is counted as
a digit. Y ou can store up to 16 digits in
each memory location.
For example, to store 9, PAUSE,
555-1234 in memory location 3:
Press p, 9, (hold the 9 for 2
seconds, until a second beep is heard.)
Then press 5 5 5 1 2 3 4

Charging the Handset
Battery Pack
The batteries need charging when:
• The phone beeps four times when you
press P.
• The LOW BATTER Y light on the
handset flashes on and off.
• The phone does not respond when
you press P, and no lights go on.

base, with the keypad facing down, when
charging.
A fully charged battery, under normal use,
maintains standby power for up to 14 days
when the Handset Ringer Control switch is
set to ON, and up to 21 days when the Handset Ringer Control switch is set to OFF .
If it’s more convenient for you, you can
leave the handset in the base all the time.
It is impossible to overcharge the batteries.
If you get a low battery indicator even
after 10 hours of charging, the battery should
be replaced.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk
of fire or injury to persons or
damage to the telephone, read and follow
these instructions carefully.
• Use Replacement Battery 4051 in the
handset.
• Do not dispose of the battery in a
fire. The cell might explode.

If you have no dial tone, check all the
previous suggestions. If you still do not
