expose this product to rain or moisture.
! CAUTION
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT
REMOVE COVER OR BACK. NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
This symbol is intended to alert you to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the product’s enclosure that
might be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric
shock. Do not open the product’s case.
This symbol is intended to inform you that important operating
and maintenance instructions are included in the literature ac-
!
companying this product.
Important: Cordless phones generally require AC power to operate. You
should also have a corded phone that does not require AC power to operate
so you can still make and receive calls if there is an AC power failure.
! CAUTION
Changes or modification to this device not expressly approved by
CIDCO Communications could void the user’s authority to operate this
equipment.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
BATTERIES
❑ Disconnect the telephone when replacing the battery pack.
❑ Use only 3.6V 600mAh Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd) cordless telephone
replacement battery pack (one included with phone).
❑ Do not dispose of the battery pack in a fire as it will explode. Check
with local codes for proper battery disposal regulations.
❑ Do not open or mutilate the battery pack. Released electrolyte is
corrosive and can cause damage to the eyes or skin. It can be toxic,
if swallowed.
❑ Avoid contact with rings, bracelets, keys or other metal objects,
when handling batteries. These objects could short out the battery
or cause the conductor to overheat resulting in burns.
❑ Do not attempt to recharge the battery pack by heating it. Sudden
release of battery electrolyte can cause burns or irritation to the
eyes or skin.
❑ Remove the battery pack if you do not plan to use the phone for
several months at a time. The batteries could leak over that time.
❑ Discard “dead” battery packs as soon as possible because they are
likely to leak into the phone.
❑ Do not store this phone or battery pack in a high temperature area.
Batteries stored in a freezer or refrigerator should be protected
from condensation during storage and defrosting. Battery packs
should be stabilized at room temperature before using.
❑ Your battery pack is rechargeable and can be
recycled once it outlives its usefulness. Depending upon
your local and state law, it might be illegal to dispose of
this battery into a municipal waste system. Check with
your local solid waste company or call 1-800-8-BATTERY
for information on Ni-Cd battery recycling and
disposal/restrictions in your area.

FCC REQUIREMENTS
This product complies with Part 68 of FCC rules. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has established these rules that permit this
device to be directly connected to the telephone network. Standardized
jacks are used for these connections. This equipment should not be used
on party lines or coin phones.
If this device is malfunctioning, it might also be harmful to the telephone
network; disconnect the unit until the source of the problem is determined and the device is repaired.
If the telephone company requests information on what equipment is connected to their lines, inform them of:
1. The telephone number to which this device is connected.
2. The FCC registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN)
found on the bottom of the unit.
The FCC requires that you connect your device to the telephone network
through a modular telephone outlet or jack. The appropriate outlet or jack
is a USOC RJ-11C, RJ-14C, RJ-11W, or RJ-14W.
A label on the base of this equipment contains information about the FCC
registration number and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). The REN
determines the number of communication devices that can be connected
to your telephone line. In most areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed
5 devices.
3. If too many devices are attached, they might not ring properly.
If you are using a cordless telephone product, some frequencies might
cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize this type of
interference, do not place the cordless base on or near a TV or VCR. If
you continue to experience interference, move the base further away
from the TV or VCR.
This equipment cannot be used on public coin telephone lines. Connection
to party line service is subject to state tariffs.
This product is hearing aid compatible.

replacement parts or materials. If we choose to replace it, we might
substitute an identical reconditioned unit. The repaired/replaced unit is
warranted for either (a) ninety days, or (b) the remainder of your phone’s
original one year warranty, whichever is longer.
A. WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
To receive warranty service, you must provide proof of purchase (your
sales receipt) and date of purchase.
B. WHAT THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER
This warranty does not cover defects resulting from accidents,
alterations, failure to follow this manual’s instructions, battery leakage,

work, telephone company service calls, or any other incidental or
consequential damages.
C. STATE LAW RIGHTS
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty
