FCC REGISTRATION INFORMATION
Your 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 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.

PARTS CHECKLIST
Make sure your package includes the items shown here.
Short telephone
line cord
AC power supply
Mounting bracket
Base Handset
Long telephone line
Headset (optional)
Belt clip
cord
MODULAR JACK REQUIREMENTS
You need an RJ11 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.
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 a power outage or battery replacement, you should place the
handset in the base for about 20 seconds to reset the code.
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.

1. Make sure the mounting bracket is securely fastened to ensure proper
charging. The words "This end up for desk use" should be near the top
or back of the unit."
2. Set the TONE/PULSE switch to TONE for touch-tone service, or PULSE
for rotary service. If you don’t know which type of service you have,
check with the phone company.
3. Set RINGER switch (on the handset) to ON.
4. Plug the power supply cord into the POWER 12V DC jack on the base
and into an AC outlet.
Installation continued on next page.
CAUTION: Use only the ATLINKS USA 5-2510 power supply that came with
this unit. Using other power supplies may damage the unit.

5. Place handset in the base to charge for 12 hours. The CHARGE/IN USE indicator
(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.
6. Plug the long telephone line cord into the PHONE LINE jack on the base
and into a modular jack.
7. Raise the base antenna.
CAUTION: Use only the ATLINKS USA 5-2510 power supply that came with
this unit. Using other power supplies may damage the unit.
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 interference continues, moving the cordless telephone
farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.

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. After initial charging remove the
mounting bracket; turn it upside down
and snap it back on the unit. The words
"This end up for wall use" should be
near the top of the unit.
2. Set the TONE/PULSE switch to TONE for
touch-tone service, or PULSE for rotary
service. If you don’t know which type of
service you have, check with the phone
company.
3. Set handset RINGER switch to ON and
base RINGER switch to HI.

REMOTE ACCESS
This section explains two types of remote
access: using the handset to access the
answering machine and accessing the
answering machine from another phone.
The handset contains integrated buttons
that enable you access the answering
machine with the handset.
You can also access your answering
machine from any phone that is tone-dial
compatible by entering a 3-digit security
code after you hear the outgoing
announcement. A voice menu system
guides you through all of the procedures.

USING THE HANDSET
Press the ANSW button to access the
answering machine from the handset.
After you access the answerer, use the
marked handset keys just as if you were
pressing the corresponding buttons on the
base (see "Answering Machine Operation"
for details on functions). To make it easy
for you, the functions are listed on the
handset above each number. For example,
to play messages:
1. Press the ANSW button.
2. Press 2 (PLAY/STOP).
3. When you are finished listening to your
messages, press ANSW again to quit, or
you may listen to the voice menu at any
time by pressing 7.
ANSWERER INDICATOR
