EQUIPMENT APPROVAL INFORMATION

Your telephone equipment is approved for connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network and is in compliance with parts 15 and 68, FCC Rules and Regulations and the Technical Requirements for Telephone Terminal Equipment published by ACTA.

1 Notification to the Local Telephone Company

On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information, the US number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone company.

The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have all of these devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most (but not all) areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line should not exceed 5. To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line as determined by the REN, you should contact your local telephone company.

A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details.

Notes

• This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company.

• Party lines are subject to state tariffs, and therefore, you may not be able to use your own telephone equipment if you are on a party line. Check with your local telephone company.

• Notice must be given to the telephone company upon permanent disconnection of your telephone from your line.

• If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of this product does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.

2 Rights of the Telephone Company

Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the telephone network, the telephone company shall, where practicable, notify you that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. Where prior notice is not practicable and the circumstances warrant such action, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue service immediately. In case of such 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 procedures set forth in Subpart E of Part 68, FCC Rules and Regulations.

The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment, operations or procedures where such action is required in the operation of its business and not inconsistent with FCC Rules and Regulations. If these changes are expected to affect the use or performance of your telephone equipment, the telephone company must give you adequate notice, in writing, to allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.

TELEPHONE JACK REQUIREMENTS

To use this phone, you need an RJ11C type modular telephone jack, which might look like the one pictured here, installed in your home. 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, microwave ovens, 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, microwave ovens, or VCR. If such interference continues, move the cordless telephone farther away from these appliances.

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.

•Clean with a soft cloth.

• Never use a strong cleaning agent or abrasive powder because this will damage the finish.

•Retain the original packaging in case you need to ship the phone at a later date.

CAUSES OF POOR RECEPTION

•Aluminum siding.

•Foil backing on insulation.

• Heating ducts and other metal construction can shield radio signals.

•You’re too close to appliances such as microwaves, stoves, computers, etc.

•Atmospheric conditions, such as strong storms.

• Base is installed in the basement or lower floor of the house.

• Base is plugged into an AC outlet with other electronic devices.

• Baby monitor is using the same frequency.

• Handset battery is low.

•You’re out of range of the base.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

CALLER ID

No Display

• Check or replace the handset batteries.

•Make sure the unit is connected to a non-switched electrical outlet. Disconnect the unit from the plug and plug it in again.

•You must subscribe to Caller ID service from your local telephone company to receive CID information.

Caller ID Error Message

• The unit displays this message if it detects anything other than valid Caller ID information during the silent period after the first ring. This message indicates the presence of noise on the line.

TELEPHONE

No dial tone

• Check or repeat installation steps:

Make sure power cords are connected to working electrical outlets.

Make sure the telephone line cord is connected to the telephone line jacks (base and wall).

•Re-register the handset to the base to restore the registration ID.

•Disconnect the base from the wall telephone jack and connect another phone to the same jack. If there is no dial tone in the second phone, the problem might be your wiring or local service.

• Handset may be out of range of base. Move closer to base.

• Make sure the battery is properly charged (12 hours).

• Make sure the battery pack is correctly installed.

•Did the handset beep when you pressed the TALK/callback button? Did the display indicator turn on? The battery may need to be charged.

Dial tone is OK, but can't dial out

• Make sure the tone/pulse setting is programmed correctly.

Handset does not ring

• Make sure the ringer switch on the handset is turned to ON.

•You may have too many extension phones on your line. Try unplugging some phones.

•See solutions for “No dial tone.”

In use/charge indicator on the base flashes

•Provided your phone company offers voice messaging service and you subscribe to it, the in use/charge indicator on the base flashes when the phone is not in use to indicate there is a message waiting. It stops flashing after the message is reviewed.

Handset Loses Registration ID

• If the handset becomes unregistered, messages in the handset display prompt you to re-register the handset to the base to restore the registration ID.

• If registration is not successful, disconnect the base power supply and re-connect it after a few seconds to reset the unit.

You experience static, noise, or fading in and out

• Change channels

• Handset may be out of range of base. Move closer to base.

•Relocate the base.

• Charge the battery.

• Make sure base is not plugged into an outlet with another household appliance.

Unit beeps

•Place handset in base for 20 seconds to reset the security code. If that doesn’t work, charge battery for 12 hours.

•See solutions for “No dial tone.”

•Replace battery.

Memory Dialing

•Did you program the memory location keys correctly?

•Did you follow proper dialing sequence?

• Make sure the tone/pulse setting is programmed correctly.

•Did you reprogram numbers into memory after power outage or battery replacement?
