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 of 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.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
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
Your cordless telephone is designed to give you flexibility in use and high
quality performance. To get the most from your new cordless telephone,
we suggest that you take a few minutes right now to read through this
instruction manual.
CORDLESS PHONE INFORMATION
• Digital Security System
When you place the Handset in the base, the unit verifies it’s security code
which prevents false ringing from other cordless telephones. After a
power outage or battery replacement, you should place the Handset in the
base for about 20 seconds to reset the code.
• IMPORTANT: This Should Not Be The Only Phone in Your Home
Because cordless phones operate on electricity, you should have at least
one phone in your home that is not cordless, in case the power in your
home goes out.
CALLER ID INFORMATION
This device allows you to take advantage of the Caller Identification
Delivery with Call Waiting service that may be available from your local
telephone company. If you do not have this service already installed, you
must contact your local telephone company to arrange to have this service
installed on your line. There is an extra charge to your monthly telephone
bill for this service.

MODULAR JACK REQUIREMENTS
You need an RJ11C, 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 interference continues, moving the cordless
telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the
interference.

CHANGING THE BATTERY
Ni-Cd
RBRC
RBRC
Your cordless handset is powered by a nickel cadmium battery pack
(#5-2419). The battery pack needs to be recharged periodically. A fully charged
battery gives you approximately 4 hours of talk time or 7 days of stand-by
time.
Return the handset to the base whenever possible to keep the battery
adequately charged.
The handset runs on a consumer-replaceable, nickel-cadmium battery pack. If
you experience any of the following problems, you may need to replace the
battery pack: short talk time, poor sound quality, limited range, CHARGE/IN
USE light fails to light. Make sure phone is OFF before you replace battery.
1. Remove the battery compartment
door.
2. Remove the battery pack.
3. Insert the new battery into the
compartment on the back of the
handset.
4. Replace the battery compartment
door.
5. Return the handset to the base unit
for at least 12 hours to adequately
charge a new battery pack.
BATTERY SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Don’t disassemble, mutilate,
puncture, wet, or dispose of
battery in fire. Like other batteries
of this type, if it is burned or
punctured, it could release toxic
materials which can cause injury.
• Keep batteries out of the reach of
children.
24
NOTE: The RBRC
seal on the battery
used in your product
indicates that we are
participating in a
program to collect
and recycle Nickel
Cadmium batteries throughout the
United States of America. Please call
1-800-8-BATTERY for information or
contact your local recycling center.
