MODULAR JACK REQUIREMENTS
You need an RJ11 type modular jack, which is the most common type of phone jack and might look like the one pictured here. If you don’t have a modular jack, call your local phone company to find out how to get one installed.
INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed near or on top of a TV or VCR. If such interference continues, move the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR.

DIGITAL SECURITY SYSTEM
Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to provide protection against false ringing, unauthorized access, and charges to your phone line.
When you place the handset in the base, the unit verifies its security code. After a power outage or battery replacement, you should place the handset in the base for about 20 seconds to reset the code.

NOTE: For desktop charging only, the handset is able
to charge facing up or down.

1. Place the handset in the base.
2. Raise the base antenna.
3. Plug the power supply cord into an AC outlet. The CHARGE/IN USE indicator comes on indicating that the battery is charging.
Allow the phone to charge for 12 hours before using the first time. If you don't charge the phone properly (for 12 hours) when you first set up the phone, performance of the battery will be compromised.
4. After charging, connect the telephone line cord to the wall jack.
5. Set the RINGER switch on the handset to ON.
NOTE : The phone automatically defaults to touch­tone dialing. To change to pulse (rotary) dialing, see “Tone/Pulse Dialing”. If you don’t know which type of service you have, check with the phone company.
WALL MOUNT INSTALLATION
Because it is necessary to charge the handset for 12 hours prior to connecting the phone for use the first time, it is better to leave the unit on a flat surface during initial charge before attempting to hang it on the wall.
1. Remove the handset hook; turn it upside down, and put it back in the slot. You need to do this so the handset doesn't fall out of the base when it is on the wall.
2. Set the RINGER switch on the handset to ON.
3. Place the handset in the base.
4. Plug the power supply into the base and then into an AC outlet.

visible from various locations. Be sure the unit is close to an AC outlet, unless you intend to operate the unit with batteries.
2. Locate the mounting template. A guide for the size of
the remote unit is included.
3. Fold the template along the horizontal dashed line.
4. Place the template on the wall, and make sure the
horizontal dashed line (folded line) is level. You might want to do this visually only, but a level will work best.
5. On the wall, mark the locations shown on the template
for holes and drill a 3/16’’ diameter hole, at least one inch deep.
6. Press one of the plastic anchors into each of the holes
and place one screw in each of the anchors. Turn the screw until the head of the screw is 1/8’’ above the surface of the wall.
7. Slip the mounting holes on the remote unit over the
screw heads, and slide the unit firmly into place.
POWERING THE UNIT
Your Caller ID box uses an AC power supply or 8 C-size alkaline batteries for receiving caller ID records.
IMPORTANT: You will have a limited amount of time to replace the batteries before the memories are lost. Please read the instructions before replacing the batteries and have the batteries ready to be inserted beforehand.
To use the power supply, plug one end of the power supply into the power jack on the back of the Caller ID box and the other end into an AC outlet.
BATTERY INSTALL
1. Remove the screw on the bottom of the Caller ID unit and open the battery door.
2. Insert 8 C-size batteries as shown on the diagram.
3. Replace the battery compartment door securely and replace the screw.
NOTE: If the low battery icon appears in the display, you need to replace the batteries. It is important that you replace the batteries as soon as possible to maintain Caller ID operation.
IMPORTANT: If you are not going to use the telephone for more than 30 days, remove the batteries because they may leak and damage the unit.
CAUTION: Use only the ATLINKS USA 5-2497 power supply that came with this unit. Using other power supplies may damage the unit.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference; and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for radio or television that is “receiving” the interference).
• Reorient or relocate and increase the separation between the telecommunications equipment and receiving antenna.
• Connect the telecommunications equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiving antenna is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions.
