FCC REGISTRATION INFORMATION
Your telephone equipment is registered with the Federal Communications Commission and is in compliance
with parts 15 and 68, FCC Rules and Regulations.
1 Notification to the Local Telephone Company
On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information, the FCC Registration
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.
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.
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 of
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.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
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 004-000-00345-4 when ordering copies.

INTRODUCTION
Your Southwestern Bell 2-9773 cordless phone is designed to give you
flexibility in use and high quality performance. You can use this phone
with basic telephone service, but it fully functions when equipped with the
following features:
CALLER ID
This feature allows you to see the number or name and number of
the person calling before you answer the phone.
CALL WAITING
This feature allows you to answer incoming calls while you are
talking on the phone.
CALLER ID WITH CALL WAITING
Also known as Type II Caller ID, this feature allows you to see the
name and number of a call that beep in while you are talking on
the phone with someone else.
VERY IMPORTANT: The Caller ID with Call Waiting feature of this
phone is totally dependent upon your phone company's capabilities.
You may subscribe to one service or the other, or even to both, and
this phone will function properly.
But to take advantage of the Caller ID with Call Waiting feature, you
must call your local phone company and tell the representative that
you have a Caller ID/Call Waiting device that integrates the two
services, regardless of whether or not you already subscribe to one or
both services independently.
The phone companies that do have the ability to integrate Call
Waiting and Caller ID must program your telephone line for the
feature to work.
VOICE MESSAGING
This features, which requires a subscription from the telephone
company, allows callers to leave messages while you are talking
on the phone.

VERY IMPORTANT: To fully take advantage of this phone's features, you must
subscribe to Caller ID, Call Waiting and Voice Message services from your
telephone company.

NOTE: Use only the Thomson 5-2385 power supply that came with this unit.
Using other adapters may damage the unit.
MODULAR JACK REQUIREMENTS
You need an RJ11 type modular jack, which is the most
common type of phone jack and might look like the one
pictured here. If you don’t have a modular jack, call your
local phone company to find out how to get one installed.
INSTALLATION NOTE: 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 such interference continues, move the
cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR.

SETTING THE AREA CODE FOR CALLER ID
Setting your area code is necessary for proper caller ID operation.
Once you set the code, the phone will automatically remove it from local
calls within your area before it stores the number in memory. This will
enable you to use the Redial feature more efficiently because you will not
have to remove the code each time you call that number.
To set your area code:
1. Make sure the phone is OFF.
2. Press ENTER. The Caller ID display on the handset prompts you to
enter your area code.
3. Enter your 3-digit area code by pressing the appropriate number keys.
The phone emits 2 beeps to confirm it has accepted the area code entry.
4. To change or enter your area code again, follow steps 1-3 above.
