IMPORTANT INFORMATION
NOTICE: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means
that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational and
safety requirements. The Industry Canada does not guarantee the equipment will operate to
the user’s satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected
to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be
installed using an acceptable method of connection. The customer should be aware that
compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some
situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance
facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this
equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause
to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the
power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe systems, if present, are
connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.
CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should
contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
NOTES: This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone
company.
Party lines are subject to telephone company 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.

encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient the radio/television receiver’s antenna, relocate the equipment with respect to the

INTRODUCTION
Your Caller ID phone stores and displays specific information, provided by
your local telephone company, to subscribers of Caller ID or similar caller
identification services. You must subscribe to one of these services in
order to use this unit.
Your Caller ID phone enables you to:
• 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 were away.
To get the most from your new phone, we suggest that you take a few
minutes right now to read through this user's guide.
REMINDER: This product requires a subscription to Caller ID service from
your telephone company. Check for name service availability.
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.

MODULAR JACK REQUIREMENTS
You need an RJ11(CA11A) type modular jack, which is the most
common type of phone jack and might look like the one
pictured here. 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 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 or VCR. If such interference continues, move the
cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR.
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.

NOTE: For desktop
charging only, the
1
handset is able to
charge facing up or
down.
1. Make sure wall mount bracket is securely fastened.
2. Set RINGER switch (on both the handset and the base) to ON.
3. Plug the power supply cord into the POWER 12V DC jack on the base
and into an AC outlet.
4. Place handset in the base to charge for 12 hours. The CHARGE/IN USE
light (on the base) comes on to indicate that the battery is charging. If
you don’t charge the handset battery properly (for 12 hours)
when you first set up the phone, performance of the battery
will be compromised.
5. Plug the telephone line cord into the TEL LINE jack on the base and into
a modular jack.
6. Raise the base antenna.
NOTE : The phone automatically defaults to touch-tone dialing. To change to
pulse (rotary) dialing, see “Tone/Pulse Dialing”. If you don’t know which type
of service you have, check with the phone company.
CAUTION: Use only the Thomson 5-2470 power supply that is compatible
with this unit. Using other power supplies may damage the unit.

WALL MOUNT INSTALLATION
Because it is necessary to charge
the handset for 12 hours prior to
connecting the phone for use the
first time, it is better to leave the
unit on a flat surface during initial
charge before attempting to hang it
on the wall.
1. Make sure the wall mount
bracket is securely fastened.
2. Set RINGER switch (on both the
handset and the base) to ON.
3. Place the handset in the base.
4. Connect the power supply cord
into the base and the other end
into an AC outlet. The CHARGE/
IN USE light comes on,
indicating the battery is charging.
Allow the phone to charge
for 12 hours before using the
first time. If you don't
charge the phone properly
when you first set up the
phone, perfomance of the
battery will be compromised.
(Installation continued on the
following page.)

TALK
button

• Surfaces affected by vibration.
• Recessed areas such as in a
corner, under a cupboard, or
next to a cabinet, which can
generate an echo effect.
Note the following guidelines when
you use the speakerphone:
• The speakerphone works similar
to a two-way radio in that you
can only listen or talk one at a
time.
• Stay reasonably close to the
phone so that you can be clearly
heard by the person to whom
you are speaking.
• The speakerphone indicator is on
when the speakerphone is in use.
