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.

INTRODUCTION

CAUTION: When using telephone equipment, there are basic

safety instructions that should always be followed. Refer to the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS provided with this product and save them for future reference.

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.

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 or on the phone. 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.

IMPORTANT: In order to use all of the Caller ID features of this phone, you must subscribe to either the standard Name/Number Caller ID Service or Call Waiting Caller ID Service. To know who is calling while you are on the phone, you must subscribe to Call Waiting Caller ID Service.

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.

INSTALLATION 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.

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.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

PARTS CHECKLIST

BEFORE MOUNTING

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, do not place any heating

or cooking product beneath this unit.

•Select a location to mount the Spacemaker® unit

•Make sure that there is an electrical outlet nearby

•Follow the section of Installing the Phone and Telephone Operation to check if the phone works well at the selected location

•Follow the section of Radio Operation to check if the radio works well at the selected location

• Disconnect the AC power supply to the Spacemaker® Unit when mounting.

Empty the contents of the cabinet under which the unit is to be mounted and thoroughly clean the underside to remove any greasy residue. We recommend the unit be mounted at the front edge of the cabinet.

IMPORTANT: For secure mounting, the screws must go into the unit to a depth of at least 3/8". If the overall length from the bottom of the cabinet shelf to the bottom of the overhang is more than 5/8", you will need to use a wood shim. The shim can be located between the cabinet shelf bottom and the spacers. Make sure the wood is at least as thick as the excess over 5/8". If a shim is necessary, longer screws (available at most local hardware stores) are required.

Cut out the template on the line indicated. The template size and screw hole positions are identical to the top of the unit.

MOUNTING PROCEDURE

1. If your cabinet does not have an overhang:

a) Position the template in the desired location on the underside of the

cabinet, flush with the front edge of the cabinet.

b) Tape the template in place and go to step 2.

If your cabinet has an overhang:

a) Measure the thickness of the overhang. b) Fold the front of the template downward along the printed guideline

closest to the thickness of your cabinet.

c) Tape folded-down portion to backside of the overhang, and tape the

template to the cabinet underside.

NOTE: If your cabinet has glue blocks or other obstructions, cut out corresponding areas on the template to clear them. Do not cut out or cut through the screw holes in the template.

CAUTION: We recommend safety glasses be worn while drilling screw holes to prevent the possibility of eye injury.

2. Drill three 1/4" diameter holes through the underside of the cabinet.

TIP: On wooden cabinets you may want to mark and start the drill holes with awl or an awl. Be sure to hold the drill very firmly against the cabinet.

Use masking tape above the hole locations on the inside of the cabinet shelf to reduce splintering. If installing the unit under a wood cabinet, you may want to countersink the drilled hole from the INSIDE of the cabinet. This will eliminate the use of washers and allow the screw head to be flush with the floor of your cabinet. If you cannot countersink the holes, use the supplied washers.

3. Remove the template and drill shavings from inside and underneath the cabinet.

4. If your cabinet does NOT have an overhang, go to Step 5. If your cabinet HAS an overhang, select the spacer or combination of

spacers, that is equal to the length of the overhang, plus 5/8". The added 5/8" is to insure adequate space to remove the handset.

Select screws that meet minimum but do not exceed maximum length

5. Insert screws from the INSIDE of the cabinet. If you did not countersink the drilled holes, position the washers, flat side down, and place the screws in the holes.

If your cabinet does not have an overhang, go to Step 7.

6. Hold the screw heads down while you push the selected spacers onto the screws under the cabinet. Be sure to push spacers until they are firmly against the cabinet bottom and/or fully nested (if more than one is used).

7. Align the unit under the screws. Hold the screw holes on the top of the unit against the mounting screws and partially tighten the screws. Do not fully tighten until all 3 screws are installed.

TIP: Do not fully tighten until all 4 screws are installed.

8. Extend the cord towards an electrical outlet and secure by using the cord hooks to hold the cord out of the way. For a more attractive appearance, place the cord hooks at the back edge of the cabinet (on or next to wall) directly over the electrical outlet to be used.

To attach cord hooks peel off the adhesive on the back of the hooks and attach to a clean, dry surface on the underside of the cabinet or back wall.
