2. Plug the other end into a wall jack.

3. Plug one end of the coiled handset cord into the jack on the handset.

4. Plug the other end into the HANDSET jack on the back of the base.

5. Place the handset on the base cradle.

6. Set the RINGER and DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS switches on the back of the base to the desired settings.

7. Set the VOL switch on the side of the handset to the desired setting.

Connecting the Electrical Power

1. Plug one end of the power supply cord into the back of the base.

2. Plug the other end into an electrical outlet.

CAUTION: To reduce risk of personal injury, re, or damage use only the 5-2836 power adaptor listed in the user’s guide. This power adaptor is intended to be correctly orientated in a vertical or oor mount position.

“No Worry” Battery Backup

This telephone is equipped with a memory holding system powered by a customer-installed 9-volt alkaline battery (not included).

When electrical power is interrupted, or the electrical line is unplugged, the battery operates the clock to retain the time of day and alarm settings in memory. When the unit is running on battery power, the digital display does not light up; however, if wake time occurs during the power interruption, the alarm buzzer sounds (regardless of the type of alarm tone selected) if remaining battery power is adequate. Normal operation resumes after electrical power is restored.

NOTE: The battery power indicator illuminates if the battery power level is low or if no battery is installed. Please replace/install the batteries as soon as possible in order to maintain Caller ID operation.

Install the backup battery as follows:

1. Remove the battery compartment cover located on the bottom of the base.

2. Connect a fresh 9-volt alkaline battery (not included). Interlock the large and small contacts on the battery clip and the battery. Once connected, place the battery inside the battery compartment.

3. Replace the battery compartment cover.

NOTE: 9V Alkaline (NEDA 1604A) batteries are recommended.

NOTE: If battery is not installed: a) All memory will be lost if the unit is unplugged for

more than 60 seconds. b) The clock will stop running during a power outage period but will start running when power resumes. The clock will blink to indicate that the time may not be correct.

IMPORTANT: If storing this unit for more than 30 days, remove the battery.

Call Waiting Caller ID

Provided you subscribe to Call Waiting Caller ID service from your phone company; if you receive an incoming call and you are using the GE multi handset system, a beep indicates the presence of a Call Waiting call on the line.

Storing CID Records (In CID Memory)

If you are not at home or cannot answer, your telephone’s Caller ID memory stores the data for the 50 most recent calls you received so you can see who called while you were unavailable. When the 51st call is received, the oldest Caller ID record (1st call) is automatically deleted.

You may review the stored information at any time. Calls received since your last review show as NEW in the display. Calls that have not been previously reviewed but were received from the same number more than once show as REPT in the display.
