The TC-919 has one switch on the side of the handset and three switches on the back of the base unit.
POWER SAVER/RINGER ON
The TC-919 is shipped with the HANDSET RINGER SWITCH set to “PWR SAVER” (the ringer is off). When set to PWR SAVER (power saver), the battery power is conserved. Turn the handset to “RINGER ON” before use.
RINGER ON - The ringer is on and the handset
will ring when an incoming call or paging signal is received. When the handset is out of the cradle, the rechargeable batteries will last up to seven days in this mode (the PWR SAVER is off).
POWER SAVER (PWR SAVER) ON - When an
incoming call or a paging signal is received the handset will not ring, but all other handset functions will operate. The rechargeable batteries will last up to one month in this mode (the ringer is off).

4 = The TC-919 will answer on the fourth ring. 2 = The TC-919 will answer on the second ring. TS = When calling to retrieve messages from a
remote location, Tollsaver will help eliminate toll charges by letting you know if there are any new messages before the TC-919 answers. When set to TS, the TC-919 answers on:
Hang up after three rings to avoid toll charges.
NOTE:
After you have retrieved messages, (from a remote location or at the machine) Tollsaver will reset to answer on the fourth ring until a new message is recorded.
This switch configures the TC-919 to dial out with either touchtone or pulse signals to match the service supplied by your local telephone company. The TC-919 is shipped with the TONE/ PULSE SWITCH set to “TONE.” If you have rotary or pulse service, set this switch to “PULSE.”
PULSE = for Rotar y dialing or Pulse ser vices TONE = for Touchtone service

USER INSTRUCTIONS
1. This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the bottom of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, provide this information to your telephone company.
2. The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your number is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line, as determined by the REN, you should call your local telephone company to determine the maximum REN for your calling area.
3. If your answering machine causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance. But if advance notice is not practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
4. Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the proper operation of your equipment. If they do, you will be given advance notice so as to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service.
5. If there is a problem with this unit, the telephone company may ask you to disconnect this equipment from the network until the problem has been corrected or you are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning.
6. Repairs can only be made by the manufacturer or an authorized service agency. Unauthorized repairs void registration and warranty. Contact seller or manufacturer for details of permissible user-performed routine repairs, and where and how to have other than routine repairs made.
7. This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company. Connection to party lines is subject to state tariffs. (Contact your state public utility commission or corporation commission for information.)

INTERFERENCE INFORMATION
Notice: This cordless telephone uses radio communications between the handset and the base unit, and may not ensure privacy of communication. Other devices including other cordless telephones may interfere with the operation of this cordless telephone or cause noise during operation. Cordless telephone equipment generates and receives radio waves and, if not installed and used properly, may pick up interference. To prevent interference:
Avoid locations such as heating appliances, electrical equipment (e.g., fluorescent lamp, TV, radio,
refrigerator, computer), places subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, moisture, vibration, etc.
Locate the base unit in a high place in the house (such as the second floor) in order to receive the most effective communication range. Fully extend the base unit antenna. Telephones must not cause interference to any licensed radio service.
WARNING
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the set to rain or moisture. To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
CAUTION
1. Use batteries only intended for recharging. Use only the following battery pack:
Nickel-Cadmium Rechargeable, 3.6 volts, 600 mAh.
2. Do not dispose of the battery in a fire. The cell may explode. Check with local codes for special
disposal instructions.
3. Do not open or mutilate the battery Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the
eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
4. Exercise care when handling the battery in order not to
short the battery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause burns.
The batteries lose their charge during shipping and storage. Be sure to charge the batteries before you use the TC-919 cordless telephone. Place the handset in the base unit. The CHARGING/LINE IN USE INDICATOR on the base will light. Leave the handset in the base unit for 12-15 hours.
The Digital Security Coding System automatically resets a new personal security code to one of over 64,000 combinations every time you return the TC-919 handset to the base unit. (Whenever the handset is returned to the base unit you will hear a beep.) The security code prevents unauthorized use of your telephone line, false rings and false dialing.

BA TTERY BACKUP
Q
Install one 9 volt (9V) battery in the base to protect your outgoing and incoming messages and any programmed information (i.e.; time/day stamp, remote access code) during a power failure. Otherwise, your greeting, incoming messages, the time/day and the handset security code will be lost, even during a short power failure. (The 9V battery is not included.)
INST ALLING A 9V BATTERY
1. Turn the TC-919 over and remove the battery cover while unit power is on.
2. Install a fresh 9V alkaline battery. Make sure the battery is connected correctly. Replace the cover.
PAGING THE HANDSET FROM
THE BASE UNIT

DISTINCTIVE RING GREETING
If you subscribe to a distinctive ring service from your local telephone company, you can set the TC-919 to play a different greeting for normal ring calls and distinctive ring calls. To set the TC-919 to Distinctive Ring Greeting Mode, select Greeting Two by pressing answer normal ring calls with Greeting Two and will answer special (distinctive) ring pattern calls with Greeting One.
When power is restored after a power failure, all Base INDICATOR’s will flash to indicate that the installed battery was depleted during the power failure. After you install a new 9 volt battery, reset the time/day stamp, record a new greeting and reprogram other settings.
Two-line installations may require a two-line T-Adapter for your machine to operate correctly. The T-Adapter allows you to connect your machine to Line 1 or Line 2. The TC-919 will only answer one line.
Installations with more than two lines, such as a business phone system, may require a separate RJ11 jack for answering machines. Please contact your telephone equipment provider for additional information. You can use the TC-919 as an extension phone on a business phone system, but some systems will require that you install an A+A1 Adapter to light the in-use indicator on the receptionist’s console.
