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.

INSTALLATION OPTIONS

Although you can use your GE 2-line business phone with a single phone
line, it is designed with a 2-line system in mind. The following diagrams
show two possible systems:

2 Lines on Separate Modular Jacks

It is possible that each line has its own RJ11
modular jack, which means that you will
need a 2-line coupler in order to use both
lines on this phone. Check with your local
phone dealer to get a two-line coupler.

2 Lines on a Single Modular Jack

The most common two-line phone system
uses a single RJ14 modular jack which
contains both phone lines.

Battery Installation

1. Remove the base plate by pressing down
the tabs and lifting it from the base.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

Install 4 AA batteries for Line-in-Use indicator, Ring indicator and Confer­ence mode:

2. Press down with a flat tool or coin on the
tabs for the battery compartment lid and
lift up.

3. Insert the batteries as shown in the
diagram inside the battery compartment.

4. Snap the battery compartment lid back
into place and replace the base plate.
