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.
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.
HEARING AID COMPATIBILITY
This telephone system meets FCC standards for Hearing Aid Compatiblility.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
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 cor dless 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.

with 26994 only)

DESKTOP
INSTALLATION
1. Make sure wall mount bracket is securely fastened.
2. Set the T/P switch to T for touch-tone service, or P for pulse (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 9V DC jack on the base and
into an AC outlet.
5. Place handset in the base to charge for 12 hours. The CHARGE light (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 telephone line cord into the TEL LINE jack on the base and into
a modular jack.
7. Raise the base antenna.
CAUTION: Use only the Thomson 5-2472(black)/5-2471(white) 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. Make sure the wall mount bracket is
securely fastened.
2. Set the T/P switch to T for touch-tone
service, or P for pulse (rotary) service.
If you don’t know which type of
service you have, check with the
phone company.
3. Set RINGER switch to ON.
4. Place the handset in the base.
5. Connect the power supply cord into
the base and the other end into an AC
outlet. The CHARGE light comes on,
indicating the battery is charging.
Allow the phone to charge for 12
hours before using the first time.
If you don't charge the phone
properly when you first set up
the phone, performance of the
battery will be compromised.

CAUTION: Use only the Thomson
5-2472(black)/5-2471(white)
power supply that came with this
unit. Using other power supplies
may damage the unit.

6. Remove the wall mount bracket. Rotate
it so that the bottom of the phone is flat.
Reattach the wall mount bracket by
inserting the tabs into the slots on the
top of the unit first, and then snapping
the bottom tabs into place.
7. Plug the short telephone line cord into
the jack marked TEL LINE on the back of
the unit and plug the other end into a
modular wall jack.
8. Slip the mounting holes over the wall
plate posts and slide the unit down
firmly into place. (Wall plate not
included.)
9. Remove the handset hook; turn it
upside down, and put it back in the slot.
You need to do this so the handset
doesn’t fall out of the base.
10. Raise the base antenna.
