INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
2. Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.
3. Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the
network interface.
4. Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:
1. Read and understand all instructions.
2. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.
3. Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use
a damp cloth for cleaning.
4. Do not use this product near water: for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in
a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.
5. Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, causing serious product
damage.
6. Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation. To protect it from
overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered by placing the product on the bed, sofa, rug, or
other similar surface. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This
product should not be placed in an enclosed environment unless proper ventilation is provided.
7. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where the cord will be abused by
animals or persons walking on it.
8. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in the risk of fire or electric shock.
9. Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
10. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
11. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product. Take it to a qualified service person
when service or repair work is required. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages
or other risks. Incorrect re-assembly can cause electric shock when the appliance is subsequently used.
12. Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:
A. When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
B. If liquid has been spilled into the product.
C. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
D. If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those
controls that are covered by the operating instructions because improper adjustment of other controls
may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the
product to normal operation.
E. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
F. If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.
13. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk
of electric shock from lightning.
14. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak while near the leak.
15. You should use ONLY the power adapter supplied with the unit. If you need a replacement, please see
ACCESSORIES on page 25 to place an order.

BATTERIES & SWITCH SETTINGS

CHARGING THE BATTERIES
Charge the batteries for 12-15 hours before
using the cordless handset for the first time.
The handset is always charging while it is in
the base unit and cannot be overcharged.
From fully charged, you should get 7 hours
continuous use and 14 days use when the
handset is in the standby mode (charging in
the base).
Check the AC Adapter to see that it is
connected correctly to the base unit
1
and wall outlet.
Place the handset in the base CP-1260
face up or face down. Make sure that
2
the STATUS INDICATOR on the base
unit is lit to indicate that the
CP-1260 is charging.
NOTES:
■ The battery pack will gradually discharge over a
long period of time even when it is not being used.
For the best performance, return the handset to the
base unit after each telephone call to charge the
battery.
■ If you must replace the battery pack during a
telephone call, complete the replacement of the
battery pack within 30 seconds, and you can return
to the original call.
SWITCH SETTINGS
The CP-1260 has two switches. The TONE/
PULSE SWITCH and BASE RINGER ON/OFF
SWITCH are on the back side of the base
CP-1260.
TONE/PULSE SERVICE
The TONE/PULSE SWITCH (on the back side
of the base unit) configures the unit to dial out
with either touchtone or pulse signals to
match the service supplied by your local
telephone company. The CP-1260 is shipped
with the TONE/PULSE SWITCH in the TONE
position for touchtone service. If you have
rotary or pulse service, set this switch to
PULSE.
PULSE = for Rotary dialing or Pulse
services
TONE = for T ouchtone service
BASE RINGER ON/OFF
The CP-1260 is shipped with the base ringer
ON/OFF SWITCH set to “ON.” To turn the
base ringer OFF, move the switch (located on
the left side of the CP-1260) to the “OFF”
position.
FEATURES & PROGRAMMING
IMPORTANT FEATURE
INFORMATION
The CP-1260 features include AutoTalk™ and
AutoStandby™ . AutoTalk allows you to
answer a call by just removing the handset
from the base so you don’t have to waste
time pushing buttons or flipping switches.
AutoStandby allows you to hang up by
simply returning the handset to the base.
The Ultra Clear
virtually eliminates background noise. This
innovative technology provides you with the
best possible reception during all your
conversations.
To protect you against misbilled calls which
might result from your phone being activated
by other equipment, the CP-1260 has Random
Code™ digital security which automatically
selects one of over 65,000 digital security
codes for the handset and base. Also, the
AutoSecure™ feature electronically locks your
phone when the handset is on the base.
AUTOMATIC DIGITAL SECURITY
CODE
This identification code is used to connect the
handset and the base unit. It protects
communication between the handset and
base, preventing unauthorized access to your
base unit, so that other cordless handsets
cannot make calls through your base unit. A
random digital security code is automatically
assigned out of 65,000 codes, the first time
you charge the handset in the base. If you
need to reset the security code, see page 18.
®
Noise Reduction Circuit
The handset ringer can be programmed to
ring with one of four ringer selections. There
are two distinct ringer tones in the handset
and each ringer tone has two different volume
levels.

LOW BATTERY INDICATOR
When the handset battery pack needs
recharging, the BATT LOW INDICATOR blinks.
If the phone is in use, the handset beeps. You
may also notice a reduction in the quality of
your cordless handset communications.
Return the cordless handset to the charging
cradle.
NOTE:
■ The batteries can be recharged many times, but if
you get a low battery indication even after 12-15
hours of charging, you should replace the battery
pack.
OUT OF RANGE ALARM
1. The CP-1260 cordless handset operates
like any other telephone handset. You can
use it in the yard, at the mailbox, or any
place within the operating range of the
base. If you move out of the base unit’s
operating range, you will hear a warning
tone. Move closer to the base unit to
deactivate the alarm. If you remain out of
range for too long, the CP-1260 will
disconnect from the line.
2. If the handset loses its security code, you
will also hear an alarm tone. See page 18
to reset this security code. Pick up the
handset and try your call again.
3. Interference from other appliances may
also cause the alarm to sound. To prevent
interference, move the base unit to another
location and orient the base unit antenna
to a vertical position.
