EQUIPMENT APPROVAL INFORMATION
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. 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.

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 cordless telephone system with Caller ID and Call Waiting is designed to give you
flexibility in use and high quality performance. To get the most from your new cordless
telephone system, we suggest that you take a few minutes right now to read through this
instruction manual. This telephone is a multifunction product for use with the Call Waiting and
Caller ID services available from your local telephone company. Your Caller ID Call Waiting
phone allows you to:
•
View the name and telephone number of a caller (Call Waiting Caller ID).
• 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 are on the other line or when you were away.
• Screen unwanted calls, eliminate harassment from annoying calls, or to get prepared
before answering a call.
IMPORTANT: In order to use all of the features of this telephone, you must subscribe to
two separate services available from your local telephone company: the standard Name/
Number Caller ID Service to know who is calling when the phone rings and Caller ID
with Call Waiting Service to know who is calling while you are on the phone. 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.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
PARTS CHECKLIST
Make sure your package includes the items shown here.

Belt clips Line cord
AC power adaptor
Handset batteries

Dual Handsets
TELEPHONE JACK REQUIREMENTS
To use this phone, you need an RJ11C type modular telephone jack, which

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.
INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may
cause or receive interference with 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 oven, or VCR. If such interference continues, move the
cordless telephone farther away from these appliances. Certain other communications
devices may also use the 2.4 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 2.4 GHz
frequency for communication include wireless audio/video senders, wireless computer
networks, multi-handset cordless telephone systems, and some long-range cordless
telephone systems.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INFORMATION
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for
wet locations.
• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals, unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
• Temporarily disconnect any equipment connected to the phone such as faxes, other
phones, or modems.

Your cordless telephone system should be placed on a level surface such as a desk or table
top, or you can mount it on a wall.
