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

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.

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

m e n t .
B . Do not dispose of battery pack in a fire. The cells may explode. Check

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.
