TELEPHONE JACK REQUIREMENTS

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.

DIGITAL SECURITY SYSTEM

Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to protect 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 power outage or battery replacement, you should place the
handset in the base for about 20 seconds to reset the code.

INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at
frequencies that may cause or receive interference with 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

5.8 GHz frequency for communication, and, if not properly set, these
devices may interfere with each other and/or your new telephone. If
you are concerned with interference, please refer to the User’s Guide
for these devices on how to properly set channels to avoid
interference. Typical devices that may use the 5.8 GHz frequency for
communication include wireless audio/video senders, wireless
computer networks, multi-handset cordless telephone systems, and
some long-range cordless telephone systems.

INSTALLATION

TELEPHONE SOLUTIONS

No dial tone

• Check or repeat installation steps

• Make sure the base power cord is connected to a working electrical
outlet.

• Make sure the telephone line cord is connected to the base unit and
the modular phone jack?

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

• The handset might be out of range of the base. Move closer to the
base.

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

• Ensure the battery pack is installed correctly.

• Did the handset beep when you pressed the talk/end call back
button? Did the in use indicator come on? The battery may need to
be charged.

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.”

Charge/in use indicator on the base flashes

• Provided your phone company offers voice messaging service and
you subscribe to it, the charge/in use 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 has been reviewed.

You experience static, noise, or fading in and out

• Change channels

• The handset maybe out of range. Move closer to the base.

• Relocate the base.

• Charge the battery.

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

Unit beeps

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

• See solutions for “No dial tone.”

• Replace the battery.

Memory dialing

• Make sure you correctly program the memory location keys.

• Make sure you follow the proper dialing sequence.

• You must reprogram numbers into memory after a power outage or
battery replacement?

Out of range

• Move closer to the base.

• Reset the battery. Unplug the battery and plug it in again after five
seconds.

• Reset the power adaptor. Unplug the adaptor and plug it in again
after five seconds.

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.

generate electrical noise (for example, motors or fluorescent
lamps).

• DO NOT expose to direct sunlight or moisture.

• Avoid dropping and other rough treatment to the phone.

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.
