Additional Battery Safety Precautions
▼
Caution! To reduce the risk of fire or injury to persons by the battery, read and follow these
instructions:
1. Use only the appropriate type and size battery pack specified in the reference guide.
2. Do not dispose of the battery pack in a fire. The cell may explode.
3. Do not open or mutilate the battery pack. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause
damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
4. Exercise care in handling the battery in order not to short the battery with conducting materials
such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause burns.
5. Charge the battery pack provided with or identified for use with this product only in accordance with the
instructions and limitations specified in the reference guide provided for this product.
6. Observe proper polarity orientation between the battery pack and battery charger.
▼
Cordless Telephone Privacy
Note! Cordless telephones are radio devices. Communications between the handset and
base of your cordless telephone are accomplished by means of radio waves which are broadcast
over the open airways. Because of the inherent physical properties of radio waves, your
communications can be received by radio receiving devices other than your own cordless
telephone unit. Consequently, any communications using your cordless telephone may not be
private.

WARNING
Please do not attempt
to unplug any
appliance during an
electrical storm.
IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Unplug all electrical appliances when you know an electrical storm is
approaching. Lightning can pass through your household wiring and
damage any device connected to it. This phone is no exception.
The FCC Wants You To Know
Changes or modifications to this product not expressly approved by the
manufacturer, or operation of this product in any way other than as
detailed by the reference guide, could void your authority to operate
this product. The equipment cannot be used on public coin phone
service provided by the telephone company. Connection to party line
service is subject to state tariffs. (Contact the state public utility
commission, public service commission or corporation commission
for information.)
Range
Your new phone is designed to achieve the maximum possible range by
transmitting and receiving according to the highest specifications set
forth by the FCC. We have rated this phone to operate at a maximum
distance with the qualification that the range depends upon the
environment in which the telephone is used. Many factors limit range,
and it would be impossible to include all the variables in our rating.
The Maximum Range rating of this phone is meant to be used as a
means of comparison against other range claims.
Telephone Line Problems
The FCC has granted the telephone company the right to disconnect
service in the event that your phone causes problems on the telephone
line. Also, the telephone company may make changes in facilities and
services which may affect the operation of your unit. However, your
telephone company must give adequate notice in writing prior to such
actions to allow you time for making necessary arrangements to
continue uninterrupted service.
If you are having trouble with your telephone service, you must first
disconnect your phone to determine if it is the cause of your problem.
If you determine that it is the cause, you must leave it disconnected
until the trouble has been corrected.

INTRODUCTION
Radio Interference
Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing and humming in
your cordless handset, or clicking noises in the base. This interference
is caused by an external source such as a TV, refrigerator, vacuum
cleaner, fluorescent lighting, or electrical storm. Your unit is NOT
DEFECTIVE. If these noises continue and are too distracting, please
check around your home to see what appliances may be causing the
problem. In addition, we recommend that the base not be plugged into
a circuit that also powers a major appliance because of the potential for
interference. Be certain the antenna is kept in the vertical position.
In the unlikely event that you consistently hear other voices or
distracting transmissions on your phone, you may be receiving radio
signals from another cordless telephone or other source of interference.
If you cannot eliminate this type of interference, you need to change to
a different channel.
Finally, it should be noted that 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 is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther
away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate
the interference.
More Than One Cordless Telephone
If you want to use more than one cordless telephone in your home,
they must operate on different channels. Press the channel key to select
a channel that provides the clearest communication.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Selecting a Location
Before choosing a location for your new phone, there are some
important guidelines you should consider:
The location should be close to both a phone jack and continuous
•
power outlet. (A continuous power outlet is an AC outlet which
does not have a switch to interrupt its power.)
Keep the base and handset away from
•
sources of electrical noise such as motors
or fluorescent lighting.
Be sure there is sufficient space to fully
•
extend the base antenna.
The base can be placed on a desk or
•
tabletop or mounted on a standard AT&T
or GTE wall plate.
• You should charge your new phone for 15-
20 hours before completing the installation or using the handset.
Telephone Line Outlets
There are two types of phone outlets:
▼
Modular Jack
Most phone equipment available now uses modular jacks. Phone cords
are fitted with a molded plastic connector which plugs into this type of
jack. If you do not have modular phone jacks, contact your local
AND ADJUSTING YOUR PHONE
telephone company for information about their installation.
▼
Hardwired Jack
Some equipment is wired directly to a phone jack, and these types of
installations require a modular jack converter. This type of installation
is not difficult; however, you should contact your local telephone
dealer or a telephone supply store for advice about the proper adapter
or converter for your particular situation.

Connecting the Telephone Cords
Consider these safety guidelines before connecting the telephone cords:
Place the power cord so
that it does not create a
trip hazard or where it
could become chafed and
create an electrical hazard
or fire.
Before using your phone,
fully charge the NickelCadmium battery pack for
15-20 hours.
Caution!
Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
•
Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the
•
telephone line has been disconnected.
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
•
Applying Power to the Base
This phone requires an AC outlet, without a switch to interrupt power,
and the included AC adapter. To relieve strain on the DC plug when the
phone is placed on a desk or table, wrap the power cord around the
strain relief notch on the bottom of the base.
ADAPTER SAFETY FEATURES
If the AC adapter furnished with this phone has a polarized line plug (a
plug having one blade wider than the other), this plug will fit into the
power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into
the outlet, try reversing the plug.
Do not alter the shape of the blades of the polarized plug!
NOTE: If you cannot plug the
AC adapter into the outlet,
contact someone about
replacing the outlet.
