EQUIPMENT APPROVAL INFORMATION

Your telephone equipment is approved for connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network and is in compliance with parts 15 and 68, FCC Rules and Regulations and the Technical Requirements for Telephone Terminal Equipment published by ACTA.
1 Notification to the Local Telephone Company
On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information, the US 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 ce rtain of the number of devices you may connect to your line as determined by the REN, you should contact your local telephone company.
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details.
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.
• If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of this product does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.
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 or 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 004-000-0 0345-4 when ordering copies.

INTRODUCTION

CAUTION: When using telephone equipment, there are basic safety
instructions that should always be followed. Refer to the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS provided with this product and save them for future reference.
Congratulations on purchasing this GE Dual Cordless Handset Telephone System. This system operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency range, and is unique to conventional cordless telephones. When the base is connected to electrical power and a telephone line, it can support up to two cordless handsets, and you can place a fully featured cordless handset anywhere an electrical power line is available.
Features:
• 2.4 GHz digital technology
• Handset to handset Intercom
• Speakerphone
• 2-way and 3-way Conference/Call Transfer
• Call Waiting and Caller ID Compatible
•Tone/Pulse Dialing
• 50 Name and Number Memory Locations in each handset and the base This telephone has been designed to be simple to use, however , you can
reach its full potential more quickly by taking a few minutes to read this instruction book. This telephone is a multifunction product for use with Call Waiting and Caller ID services available from your local telephone company.
5
Your Caller ID Call Waiting phone allows you to:
•View the name and telephone number of a caller while you are on the phone (Call Waiting Caller ID).
• Identify callers before you answer the phone.
•View the time and date of each incoming call.
•Record up to 40 Caller ID messages sequentially in each handset and the base.
• Know who called while you are on the other line or when you were away.
•Screen unwanted calls, eliminate harassment from annoying calls, or to get prepared before answering a call.
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.
IMPORTANT: In order to use all of the features of this telephone, you must subscribe to two separate services available from your local telephone company: the standard Name/Number Caller ID Service to know who is calling when the phone rings and Call Waiting Caller ID Service to know who is calling while you are on the phone.
INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs, microwave ovens, 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, microwave ovens, or VCR. If such interference continues, move the cordless telephone farther away from these appliances. Certain other communications devices may also use the 2.4 GHz frequency for communication, and, if not properly set, these devices may interfere with each other and/or your new telephone. Typical devices that may use the 2.4 GHz frequency for communication include wireless audio/video senders, wireless computer networks, multi-handset cordless telephone systems, and some long-range cordless telephone systems.

BASIC OPERATION

SPEAKERPHONE

For hands-free operation and convenience, your dual-handset system is equipped with a speakerphone.
For best speakerphone performance, avoid the following:
• Areas with high background noise. (The microphone might pick up these sounds.)
• Surfaces affected by vibration.
•Recessed areas such as in a corner, under a cupboard, or next to a cabinet, which can generate an echo effect.
Note the following guidelines when using the speakerphone:
• The speakerphone works similar to a two-way radio. You can only listen or talk at one time.
• Stay reasonably close to the phone so that you can be clearly heard by the person to whom you are talking.
NOTE: Only one-way conversation is possible in speakerphone mode. When you are speaking, you are transmitting. When you are listening, you are receiving. You can’t do both at the same time. The phone automatically switches between transmitting and receiving depending on the level of the voice or the room noise detected by the speakerphone microphone.

CHARGE INDICATOR

When the charge indicator is lit, the handset is correctly seated in the cradle and is charging. The indicator flashes when the base is paged, when the base pages the handset, or when you receive an incoming call.

When your telephone rings, and you are subscribed to Caller ID Call Waiting service, you will receive information (if available) transmitted by your local telephone company. You will also receive Caller ID information from Call Waiting calls. If you receive an incoming call and you are already on the phone, a beep indicates the presence of a Call Waiting Call on the line, and Caller ID information for the Call Waiting call shows on the display. This information may include the phone number, date and time; or the name, phone number, and date and time.

The Caller ID information appears on the display while the phone rings, giving you a chance to monitor the information and decide whether or not to answer the call.
If you are not at home or cannot answer, your telephone’s Caller ID memory automatically stores the call number, date, time, phone number, and name for the 40 most recent calls received so you can see who called while you were unavailable. Caller ID records are stored sequentially, in the order they are received. When the 41st call is received, the oldest Caller ID record is automatically deleted.
You may review the stored information for the most recent 40 calls at any time. Calls received since your last review show as

• The cordless handset may be out of range of the base. Move closer to the base.
• Make sure the battery is properly charged (12 hour s).
• Make sure the battery pack is installed correctly.
• Did the handset beep when you pressed the talk/callback button? The battery may need to be charged.
