your local telephone company.

temporary discontinuance, the telephone company must: (1)
promptly notify you of such temporary discontinuance; (2) afford
you the opportunity to correct the situation; and (3) inform you of
your right to bring a complaint to the Commission pursuant to

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.

slide the unit down firmly into place. (Wall plate not
included.)
8. Raise the base antenna.
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.
CALLER ID BOX INSTALLATION
Required Equipment: Drill, 3/16’’ Drill Bit, Phillips Head
Screw Driver, Level (optional)
1. Determine a suitable location for the unit which is
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.
