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 certain
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.

• 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.

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

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

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
Privacy of Communications may not be ensured when using this product.
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

8
Connections and Setup
Installing the Phone
1. Choose an area near an electrical outlet and
telephone wall jack. Your phone should be placed
on a level surface, such as a table top or desk.
2. Install 4 AAA-size alkaline batteries (not
included) for back up power in the event of a
power failure.
CAUTION: Unit will not work if electrical power
fails and batteries are depleted or not installed.
Therefore it is important that you replace them
when “REPLACE BATTERY” shows in display in order
to maintain unit operation. As a precaution, you
may want to write down any stored information you
do not want erased.
• Open the battery compartment door located on
the bottom of the phone by inserting a flathead
screw driver into the battery door latch area and
gently tilting the screw driver away from the
battery door to release the latch.
• Insert the batteries as shown on the diagram
inside the battery compartment.
• Snap the battery compartment door back into
place.
IMPORTANT: If you are not going to use the telephone for
more than 30 days, remove the batteries because they can
leak and damage the unit.
3. Connect the AC power adaptor to an electrical
outlet and the DC connector to the back of the
base.
CAUTION: To reduce risk of personal injury, fire, or
damage use only the 5-2719 power adaptor listed
in the user’s guide. This power adaptor is intended
to be correctly orientated in a vertical or floor
mount position.

If you have two telephone lines installed on a single jack, plug one end
of the straight telephone line cord into the jack marked LINE 1+2 on
the back of the base. Plug the other end into the 2-line wall jack.
If you have two separate telephone line jacks, plug one telephone line
cord into the jack marked LINE 1+2 and another cord into the jack
marked LINE 2. Plug the other end of each line cord into separate wall
jacks.
NOTE: To use two line, you must have two telephone lines with unique telephone
numbers. If you only have one telephone line, this phone will still operate, but
only as a single line telephone.
5. Connect the handset cord:
Plug one end of the coiled handset cord into the side of the base and
the other end into the jack on the handset, and place the handset in
the cradle.
6. Check for a dial tone. Lift the handset and listen for a dial tone. If
you hear a dial tone, the phone is properly installed.

Data Port
This phone has a DATA PORT jack to connect an auxiliary phone device, such as a fax
machine, computer modem, answering machine, or even a cordless phone.
The DATA PORT switch on the back of the phone controls the DATA PORT jack so you can
choose line 1 or line 2.
11
Connections and Setup
Use the DATA PORT jack to hook up your fax machine, for example, and then set the DATA
PORT switch to 2 in order to receive faxes on the phone number for line 2.
If you are talking to someone on line 2 and want them to fax something to you, change
the DATA PORT switch to 1 and give him the phone number for line 1. Your fax machine
can now receive calls on line 1.

outside callers who may not know that you have multiple lines will not be able to reach your fax
machine if they dial the normal fax line.
