Notice: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this terminal equipment
is marked on the equipment itself. The REN assigned to each terminal
equipment provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals
allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an

▼ Cordless Telephone Privacy
Cordless telephones are radio devices. Communications between the
handset and base of your cordless telephone are accomplished by means
of radio waves which are broadcast over the open airways. Because of the
inherent physical properties of radio waves, your communications can be
received by radio receiving devices other than your own cordless telephone
unit. Consequently, any communications using your cordless telephone

INSTALLING AND ADJUSTING YOUR PHONE
SELECTING A LOCATION
Before choosing a location for your new phone, there are some important
guidelines you should consider:
• The location should be close to both a phone jack and continuous power
outlet. (A continuous power outlet is an AC outlet which does not have a
switch to interrupt its power.)
• Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noise such
as motors, microwave ovens, or fluorescent lighting.
• The base can be placed on a desk or tabletop or mounted on a
standard wall plate.
• You should charge your new phone for 15-20 hours before completing
the installation or using the handset.
NOTE:If your home has specially wired alarm
equipment connected to the telephone line, be
sure that installing the system does not
disable your alarm equipment.
If you have questions about what will disable
your alarm equipment, contact your telephone
company or a qualified installer.
TELEPHONE LINE OUTLETS
There are two types of phone outlets:
▼ Modular Jack
Most phone equipment available now uses modular jacks. Phone cords are
fitted with a molded plastic connector which plugs into this type of jack. If
you do not have modular phone jacks, contact your local telephone
company for information about their installation.
▼ Hardwired Jack
Some equipment is wired directly to a phone jack, and these types of
installations require a modular jack converter. This type of installation is not
difficult; however, you should contact your local telephone dealer or a
telephone supply store for advice about the proper adapter or converter for
your particular situation.
5
CONNECTING THE TELEPHONE CORDS
Consider these safety guidelines before connecting the telephone cords:
Caution!
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the
telephone line has been disconnected.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Caution: Place the power cord so that it does not create a trip hazard or
where it could not become chafed and create an electrical hazard
or fire.
APPLYING POWER TO THE BASE
This phone requires an AC outlet without a switch to interrupt power, and
the included AC adapter. To relieve strain on the DC plug when the phone
is placed on a desk or table, wrap the power cord around the strain relief
notch on the back of the base.
NOTE: Before using your phone, fully charge the Nickel-Cadmium battery pack for
15-20 hours.
Plug the AC Adapter into a standard 120 V AC wall outlet. Do not use an
outlet controlled by a wall switch. Use only the AC Adapter supplied with
this phone.
