FCC REGISTRATION INFORMATION

Your GE telephone equipment is registered with the Federal Communications Commission and is in compliance with parts 15 and 68, FCC Rules and Regulations. 1 Notification to the Local Telephone Company

On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information, the FCC Registration 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.

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.

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 of 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.

INTERFERENCE INFORMATION

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. Also, the Federal Communications Commission has prepared a helpful booklet, “How To Identify and Resolve Radio/TV Interference Problems.” This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. Please specify stock number 004-000-00345-4 when ordering copies.

AA BATTERY INSTALLATION/REPLACEMENT

Install 4 AA-size batteries into the bottom of the phone to provide power for the speakerphone, the display, the busy redial feature, and in order to store numbers in memory.

1. Disconnect the telephone line cord from the

LINE jack on the back of the phone.

2. Remove the base plate on the back of the

phone by pressing down on the tabs and lifting the base plate from the base.

prevent battery leakage and damage to your telephone. When discarding batteries, be sure to dispose of them in the proper manner, according to your state and local regulations. Remove batteries when storing this unit for more than one month.

MEMORY BACKUP BATTERY

A 3V lithium battery has already been installed in your phone to act as a backup when the AA-size batteries lose their power. The 3V lithium battery ensures that the numbers you’ve stored in memory will be retained when the AA-size batteries are removed or aren’t working properly. You’ll know you need to replace the 3V lithium backup battery if memory backup fails when you remove the AA-size batteries. To replace the 3V lithium battery:

1. Disconnect the telephone line cord from the

LINE jack on the back of the phone.

2. Remove the plastic cover with a screwdriver to

expose the black battery holder.

3. Use the screwdriver again to pop up either end

of the black battery holder out of the cabinet.

4. Slide the battery holder out of the

compartment and remove the battery from the black holder.

5. Insert new battery and snap into the black

holder making sure you’ve matched the + and – polarities on the battery and the holder.

6. Replace the battery holder and make sure that

the keyhole on the holder lines up with the tab on the cabinet.

telephone line cord back into the phone.
