Important Safety InstructionsImportant Safety Instructions
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 instru c t i o n s . 2 . Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the pro d u c t . 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 locate base unit near water, for example, near a bath tub, wash
bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming p o o l .
5 . Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand or table. The pro d u c t
may fall, causing serious damage to the pro d u c t .
6 . Slots and openings in the cabinet and the bottom or back are provided for
ventilation, to protect it from overheating; these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the p roduct in the bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat re g i s t e r . This pro d u c t should not be placed in a built-in installation unless proper ventilation is p ro v i d e d .
7 . This product should be operated only from the type of power source indi-
cated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.
8 . Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this pro d-
uct where the cord will be abused by persons walking on it.
9 . Do not overload outlets and extension cords as this can result in the risk of
f i re or electric shock.
1 0 . 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. Never spill liquid of any kind on the p ro d u c t .
11 . To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product, but
take it to qualified servicemen when service or repair work is re q u i re d . Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when the appli­ance is subsequently used.
1 2 . Avoid using telephones (other than a cordless type) during an electrical
storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning. 1 3 . Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak. 1 4 . Unplug this product from the 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 pro d u c t .
C. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
D. If the product does not operate normally by following the operating
i n s t ructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating
i n s t ructions because improper adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often re q u i re extensive work by a qualified technician to
re s t o re 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. 1 5 . Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm. 1 6 . Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless jack is specifically

t i o n s :
A . Use only the battery pack supplied with the unit or identical re p l a c e-
m e n t .
B . Do not dispose of battery pack in a fire. The cells may explode. Check
with local codes for possible disposal instru c t i o n .
C . Since released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to eyes or

m o re cells. C3. Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.
D . E x e rcise care in handling the battery pack in order not to “short” the bat-
tery contacts with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause burns.

only in accordance with the instructions and limitations specified in this m a n u a l .

Frequently Asked Questions
1.How long should the handset battery be charged?
Typically leaving the handset on the base overnight will charge the battery sufficiently.
2.How long can a battery last after a twelve hour charge?
After a twelve hour charge,the handset has typi­cally 8 hours of continuous talk time,or 14 days in standby mode (when the phone is out of the base but not in use).
3.What is the range of my cordless phone?
There is no way to easily answer this question as many factors affect the range of a cordless phone. In an open field,under ideal conditions,a 900 MHz cordless phone can have an effective range of about 1200 feet.
Unfortunately,most cordless phones are used under conditions that are anything but ideal. The effective range of a cordless phone varies because of environmental and other conditions. Cordless phones and other 900 MHz devices may cause interference which may limit the effective range of your cordless phone.Changing the channel may help.
Aluminum siding can also have a dramatic effect on range.Try using your cordless phone in many locations in and around your home.Each situa­tion presents different conditions under which the phone must work.

Frequently Asked Questions
4.Why do I sometimes have difficulty making a connection even though I’m close to the base?
There are several possible causes for this condi­tion.Please try the following solutions to see where your problem lies.
First,make sure the base unit power adapter is connected to a working AC outlet. Make sure that you are within range of the base unit when pressing the TALK button.If this works,then you were trying to access the base from too great a distance.Other cordless phones in your house could be causing interference.Two or more cordless phones may interfere with each other’s security codes.If you have two or more cordless phones in your house please disconnect all but the phone which is giving you the Out of Range signal.You can then reset the security codes by using the following procedure.
To reset the security code,remove the handset from the base.Remove the power cord from the base for 30 seconds.Replace the power cord to the base and replace the handset,making sure the charge light comes on.Wait another 30 sec­onds and the security code should be reset.Try the phone after resetting the security code–it should work fine.Your other cordless phones can still be used but they should be moved further apart or you may experience this problem again.
Frequently Asked Questions
5.Why do I have static on my cordless phone?
Your cordless phone works as a miniature radio transmitter and receiver.As such,it will pick up stray signals caused by other nearby appliances which emit radio signals and thus become a source of interference.
Some sources in a home that may cause noise and interference on a cordless phone are:
• other cordless phones
• fluorescent fixtures
• home appliances such as televisions, refrigerators,microwave ovens, home computers and baby monitors
In order to eliminate some of this interference it may be necessary to relocate the base unit of the cordless phone to a different location in your house.This solves two problems.First,you are fur­ther from the source of interference and secondly the power adapter for the cordless phone will be plugged into an outlet, which most likely is on a different line than the appliance which is causing the interference.
If the noise persists after relocating the base, move closer to the base unit when talking on the phone.If the noise disappears,then it is most like­ly local interference being generated by a source outside your home,or a source inside your home strong enough to blanket your entire house such as a baby monitor.If you find that the noise and interference are equally strong throughout your house,your cordless phone may require service.

Frequently Asked Questions
6.Will more than one cordless phone work in the house?
Whether or not you are able to use two or more cordless phones in your house varies, depending on how many cordless phones you have in your house and how close the cordless phones are to each other.Problems you could experience include:
• intermittent ringing
• cross talk
• interference
• inability of the handset to access the base
Changing the channel on one phone may help. Relocating one of the bases may also help.
7.How can I find a replacement battery?
Batteries are typically available locally at Radio Shack,Walmart,K-Mart or anywhere cordless phone accessories are sold.You must match the voltage,milliamp hours (mAH) and the connector of your current battery exactly to the new one to ensure proper operation of your cordless phone. You should take the original battery with you to the store to match these features.Or order the battery from Cobra.
