is needed to wait for a dial tone (e.g. after dialing 9 for an outside
line) or a computer tone (e.g. for some long distance services) before
you can proceed to dial.

CHAIN DIALING
Allows you to dial in succession a chain of numbers in different
memory locations. This is handy when you must dial more than one
number in memory to complete a call, such as with frequent calls
via an independent long distance service, (e.g. MCI or SPRINT).

Problems
6. Loss of Memory• Is 3V Lithium Battery in place correctly?
• Check Cords: Are they inserted properly
• Check HOOK SWITCH: Does it fully extend
• Is RINGER VOLUME SWITCH in OFF
position?
• Are you using too many phones on one line?
(The total REN of all phones on the same line
should not be greater than the maximum REN
for your calling area. Usually 5. See ("FCC
Registration Information” on back cover.)
• Perform checks under #1.
• Are other phones off hook at same time?
If so, this is normai condition as volume drops
when additional phones are used simul
taneously.
• This is normal as power is fluctuating when
the phone dails.
• Did you program numbers correctly?
• Did you foilow proper dialing sequence?
(Review Memory Section)
• Does it need to be replaced?
SOLUTION
and securely?
Are they damaged?
when Handset is
removed?
If still inoperative, disconnect the phone and try another phone (if
one is available) or another cord to determine whether the problem
is in the telephone, the cord or the line. If in the phone, discontinue
its use and follow the SERVICE procedure in this manual. If in the
iine, notify the telephone company immediately. The telephone com
pany will charge for a service call if the problem is attributable to
equipment you own.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
HEARING AID COMPATIBILITY
This telephone system is judged to be hearing aid compatible per
FCC/DOC standards.
FCC REGISTRATION INFORMATION
Your GE telephone equipment is registered with the Federal Com
munications Commission and is in compliance with parts 15J and
68, FCC Rules and Regulations.

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, pro
vide this information to your telephone company.
The REN is useful to determine the number of devices you may
connect to your telephone line and still have all these devices ring
when your telephone number is called. In most (but not all) areas,
the sum of the REN’s of all devices connected to one line should
not exceed 5. To be certain of the number of devices you may con
nect 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 pro
vided 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 par
ty 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 Teiephone Company.
Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm
the telephone network, the telephone company shall, where prac
ticable, notify you that temporary discontinuance of service may
be required. Where prior notice is not practicable and the cir
cumstances warrant such action, the telephone company may tem
porarily discontinue service immediately. In cetse of such temporary
discontinuance, the telephone company must: (1) promptly notify
you of such temporary discontinuance, (2) afford you the oppor
tunity 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 communica
tions facilities, equipment, operations of procedures where such
action is required in the operation of its business and not incon
sistent with FCC Rules and Regulations. If these changes are ex
pected 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

may interfere with residential radio and television reception if not pro
perly installed and used in accordance with instructions contained
in this manual. Reasonable protection against such interference is
ensured, although there is no guarantee this will not occur in a given
installation. If interference is suspected and verified by switching this
equipment on and off, the user is 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 receiver, plug the equipment and receiver into separate

13
ADJUSTING THE DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS
The light intensity of the digital display can be adjusted for day/night
lighting conditions. With each press of the BRIGHTNESS switch, the
brightness will toggle between high and low.
ANTENNAS
AM Antenna - A built-in ferrite rod antenna eliminates the need for
an outside antenna for AM reception. Rotating the unit slightly may
improve reception for distant AM stations.
FM Antenna - The power cord acts as your FM antenna. The power
cord picks up moderate to strong stations and eliminates the need
for an external antenna in most strong signal areas. For best recep
tion, be sure the power cord is stretched out to its full length. Do not
coil or bunch the cord together. Changing position of the power cord
may improve reception.
NO-WORRY BATTERY BACKUP SYSTEM
The clock radio is equipped with a memory holding system that can
be powered by a customer-installed 9 volt alkaline battery (not includ
ed). The power failure protection circuit will not operate unless a bat
tery is installed.
When normal household power is interrupted, or AC line cord is
unplugged, the battery will power the clock radio to maintain time
and alarm settings. When on battery power, the digital display will
not light. However, should WAKE TIME occur during the power in
terruption, the radio will operate or the alarm will sound it remaining
battery power is adequate. Normal operation will resume after AC
power is restored so you will not have to reset time or alarm.
Install battery as follows:
1. To remove battery compartment door (located on bottom of radio),
push the door latch in the direction of the arrow on the battery
door and lift door off cabinet.
2. Connect a 9-volt battery to connectors.
3. Insert battery in compartment and replace compartment door.
NOTE: Alkaline batteries are recommended. Carbon-zinc batteries
may be used but memory holding time will be substantially reduced.
Memory holding time for a fresh alkaline battery is approximately 4
hours, which should take care of short, nuisance-type AC power
failures. To preserve battery power, the unit should remain plugged
into an AC outlet. As batteries get older, their voltage drops and
memory may be lost. Be sure to replace the battery periodically and
dispose of the “dead” battery in a proper manner, in accordance with
your State and local regulations. Remove battery if the unit will be
unplugged or stored for more than a few weeks. A leaky battery can
damage the unit.
