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.
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.
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.

Congratulations on purchasing the GE Dual Cordless Handset Telephone
System. This system operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency range, and is unique
to conventional cordless telephones. When the base is connected to electrical
power and a telephone line, you can place a fully-featured cordless handset
anywhere electrical power is available.
Features:
• 2.4 GHz digital technology
• Handset to handset Intercom
• 2-way and 3-way Conference/Call Transfer
• Call Waiting and Caller ID Compatible
•Tone/Pulse Dialing
• Up to 50 Name and Number Memory Dialing
This telephone has been designed to be simple to use, however, you can
reach its full potential more quickly by taking a few minutes to read this
Instruction Book. This telephone is a multifunction product for use with Call
Waiting and Caller ID services available from your local telephone company.
5
Your Caller ID Call Waiting phone allows you to:
•View the name and telephone number of a caller (Call Waiting Caller ID)
while you are on the phone.
• Identify callers before you answer the phone.
•View the time and date of each incoming call.
•Record up to 40 Caller ID messages sequentially.
• Know who called while you are on the other line or when you were away.
•Screen unwanted calls, eliminate harassment from annoying calls, or to
get prepared before answering a call.
IMPORTANT: Because cordless phones operate on electricity, you should
have at least one phone in your home that isn’t cordless, in case the power in
your home goes out.
IMPORTANT: In order to use all of the features of this telephone, you must
subscribe to two separate services available from your local telephone
company: the standard Name/Number Caller ID Service to know who is
calling when the phone rings and Call Waiting Caller ID Service to know who
is calling while you are on the phone.

INSTALLATION
INSTALLA TION 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.
Certain other communications devices may also use the 2.4 GHz frequency for
communication, and, if not properly set, these devices may interfere with each
other and/or your new telephone. Typical devices that may use the 2.4 GHz
frequency for communication include wireless audio/video senders, wireless
computer networks, multi-handset cordless telephone systems, and some longrange cordless telephone systems.
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is
specifically designed for wet locations.
• Never touch non-insulated telephone wires or terminals, unless the
telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
•Temporarily disconnect any equipment connected to the phone such as
faxes, other phones, or modems.
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
• Install telephone near both a telephone (modular) jack and an electrical
power outlet.
•Avoid sources of noise, such as a window by a busy street, and electrical
noise, such motors, microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.
•Avoid heat sources, such as heating air ducts, heating appliances,
radiators, and direct sunlight.
•Avoid areas of excessive moisture or extremely low temperature.
•Avoid dusty locations.
•Avoid other cordless telephones or personal computers.
