RReecchhaarrggiinngg tthhee BBaatttteerryy PPaacck

The nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH) BATTERYPACK in the HANDSET can be recharged many times using the built-in charger in the BASE UNIT.

When the BATTERY CHARGE INDICATOR starts blinking on the LCD Screen, this indicates that the BATTERYPACK needs to be recharged.

Charge the BATTERYPACK at least once every 90 days of non-use to avoid battery failure. When the BATTERYPACK can no longer be charged, replacement of the BATTERYPACK will be necessary.

The BATTERYPACK used in your telephone may develop a condition known as “MEMORY”. Once subjected to a regular short discharging routine, the BATTERYPACK assumes the discharging pattern it was subjected to. This causes rapid discharging thereby shortening the BATTERYPACK charge span. If you believe your BATTERYPACK has developed a “MEMORY” condition, do not charge the HANDSET until the BATTERY CHARGE INDICATOR starts blinking on the LCD Screen. When the BATTERY CHARGE INDICATOR starts blinking on the LCD Screen, then charge the HANDSET fully for 12 hours.

conversation cannot be made on the HANDSET.

2. A “beep” will be heard when the HANDSET is properly positioned in the BASE UNIT CHARGE CRADLE and charging. Securely positioning the HANDSET in the BASE UNIT will also prevent the HANDSET from falling.

In order to get maximum life from the HANDSET

BATTERYPACK, be sure to charge the HANDSET for 12

hours before initial use.

Changing the Battery Pack

The BATTERYPACK provides power for the HANDSET of your cordless telephone.

To Replace BATTERY PACK:

1. Remove the HANDSET BATTERY COMPARTMENT COVER by sliding it down.

2. Pull out the BATTERYPACK PLUG and remove the BATTERYPACK.

3. Plug the new BATTERYPACK into the BATTERY CONNECTOR.

4. Slide the HANDSET BATTERY COMPA RTMENT COVER firmly into place in its closed

position.

5. Before use, charge the new BATTERYPACK for 12 hours.

AATTTTEENNTTIIOONN:

The telephone that you have purchased contains a rechargeable BATTERYPACK. The BATTERYPACK is recyclable. At the end of its useful life, under various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this BATTERYPACK into the municipal waste stream. Check with your local solid waste officials for details in your area for recycling options or proper disposal.

TTeecchhnniiccaall IInnffoorrmmaattiioon

This cordless telephone uses radio frequencies to allow mobility. There are certain difficulties in using radio frequencies with a cordless telephone. While these are normal, the following could affect the operation of your system.

NNooiisse

Electrical pulse noise is present in most homes at one time or another. This noise is most intense during electrical storms. Certain kinds of electrical equipment such as light dimmers, fluorescent bulbs, motors, and fans also generate noise pulses. Because radio frequencies are susceptible to these noise pulses, you may occasionally hear them in your HANDSET. Generally they are a minor annoyance and should not be interpreted as a defect in your system.

RRaanngge

Because radio frequency is used, the location of the BASE UNIT can affect the operating range. Try several locations in your home or office and pick the one that gives you the clearest signal to the HANDSET.

IInntteerrffeerreenncce

Electronic circuits activate a relay to connect the cordless telephone to your telephone line. These electronic circuits operate in the radio frequency spectrum. While several protection circuits are used to prevent unwanted signals, there may be periods when these unwanted signals enter the BASE UNIT. You may hear clicks or hear the relay activate while you are not using the HANDSET. If the interference occurs frequently, it can be minimized or eliminated by relocating the BASE UNIT. You can check for interference before selecting the final BASE UNIT location by plugging in the telephone.

NNOOTTIICCEE:

This cordless telephone uses radio communication between the HANDSET and the BASE UNIT and may not ensure privacy of communication. Other devices, including another cordless

telephone, may interfere with the operation of this cordless telephone or cause noise during operation. Units not containing coded access may be accessed by other radio communication systems. Cordless telephones must not cause interference to any licensed radio service.

FFCCCC RReeqquuiirreemmeenntts

FFeeddeerraall CCoommmmuunniiccaattiioonnss CCoommmmiissssiioonn RReeqquuiirreemmeenntts

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. A label on the BASE UNIT of the equipment contains, among other information, the ACTA Product Number and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone service provider.

The REN is also useful in determining the number of devices that you may connect to your telephone line and still allow all of these devices to 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 five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that you may connect to your line, contact your local telephone service provider.

If your equipment should cause harm to the telephone network, the telephone service provider may temporarily disconnect your service. If possible, they will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required.

However, when advance written notice is not possible, the telephone service provider may temporarily discontinue service without notice if such action is necessary under the circumstances. The telephone service provider may make changes in its communication facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures where such action is reasonably required in the operation of its business and is not inconsistent with the rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission.

Do not attempt to repair or modify this equipment.

Warning: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for its

compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TV’s and VCR’s. To minimize or prevent such interference, the BASE UNIT of the cordless telephone

should not be placed on or near a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.

This equipment should not be used on coin telephone lines. Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. If trouble is experienced, disconnect this equipment from the telephone line to determine if it is causing the malfunction. If the equipment is determined to be malfunctioning, its use should be discontinued until the problem has been corrected.

IMPORTANT

Placing your BASE UNIT near appliances such as

another telephone, televisions, refrigerators, radios,

or microwave ovens may cause interference.

NOTE: 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 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 the 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.

• Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subjected 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.
