This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a mininum distance of 20 centimeters between the radiator and your body.

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 the 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, you can place a fully-featured cordless handset anywhere electrical power is available.

Features:

• 2.4 GHz digital spread spectrum technology

• Handset to handset Intercom

• 3-way Conference

• Call Waiting and Caller ID Compatible

• VIP melody

• Up to 50 Name and Number Memory Dialing

• Answering machine with 3 maiboxes

• Expandable up to 4 handsets (by purchase of optional Model 21009A Handset with recharge cradle)

NOTE: Spread Spectrum technology does not need the feature of changing channel.

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.

Your Caller ID Call Waiting phone allows you to:

• View the name and telephone number of a caller (Call Waiting Caller ID) while you are on the phone.

• Identify callers before you answer the phone.

• View the time and date of each incoming call.

• Record up to 40 Caller ID messages sequentially.

• 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

INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that

may cause or receive interference with 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 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.

• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.

• Never touch non-insulated telephone wires or terminals, unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.

• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

• Temporarily disconnect any equipment connected to the phone such as faxes, other phones, or modems.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

• Install telephone near both a telephone (modular) jack and an electrical power outlet.

• Avoid sources of noise, such as a window by a busy street, and electrical noise, such motors, microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.

• Avoid heat sources, such as heating air ducts, heating appliances, radiators, and direct sunlight.

• Avoid areas of excessive moisture or extremely low temperature.

• Avoid dusty locations.

• Avoid other cordless telephones or personal computers.

INSTALLING THE HANDSET BATTERY

NOTE: You must connect the handset battery before use.

1. Connect battery pack plug to jack inside compartment on base.

NOTE: It is important to maintain the polarity (black and red wires) to the jack inside the compartment as shown in the illustration. To ensure proper battery installation, the connector is keyed and can be inserted only one way.

2. Install compartment cover and snap into place.

3. Place the handsets in the charging cradles.

Allow handsets to charge for 16 hours prior to first use. If you don’t properly charge the handsets, battery performance is compromised.
