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.

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.

UC351BH (MPH6996) OM Eng 8/10/01 5:25 PM Page 5

Page 7

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.

Warning: Please do not attempt to unplug any appliance during an electrical storm.

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.

Important electrical considerations

UC351BH (MPH6996) OM Eng 8/10/01 5:25 PM Page 6

Page 8

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.

About the digital security code

This cordless telephone uses a digital security code to prevent unauthorized access to your base unit. This security code prevents other cordless handsets from making calls through your base unit.

Caller ID Features

Caller ID

When the telephone rings, the Caller ID feature allows you to view the caller’s name and phone number on the display before you answer the phone. The handset displays the phone number of the incoming call, the name, time, and the number of calls. Additionally, you can dial the displayed number and store the information for memory dialing.

Setting Caller ID options/Language

There are three Caller ID setup options available; they are Instant Talk, CIDCW (Caller ID on Call Waiting), and Area Code.

Instant Talk allows you to answer the phone without pressing the button. If the phone rings when AutoTalk is on, simply remove the handset from the base and the phone automatically answers the call. Or if the handset is not on the base press any key to answer the call. If the phone rings when AutoTalk is off, you must press to answer the call.

Area Code option, your local area code

does not appear in Caller ID messages. When reviewing Caller ID messages, you will see only the local seven digit number. For calls received from outside your local area code, you will see a full 10-digit number.

Note
