Equipment Approval Information
Your telephone equipment is approved for connection to the Public Switch Telephone Network and is in compliance with parts 15 and 68, FCC Rules and Regulations and the Technical Requirements for Telephone Terminal Equipment published by the Administrative Council for Terminal Attachments (ACTA).
1. Notification to the Local Telephone Company
On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information, the UL 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 have connected on your telephone line and still have all of the 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 have connected 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.
Rights of the Telephone Company
2. 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 the 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 or 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.
Hearing Aid Compatibility
This telephone system meets the FCC requirements for Hearing Aid Compatibility.
R9
The installation of the base unit should allow at least 20 centimeter between the base and persons to be in  compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. For body worn operation, the portable part (handset) has  been tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines.  This device must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. The  changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the  user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Getting Started
Getting Started
Location
You need to place your T1960 within 6 feet of the AC power outlet and telephone socket so that the cables will reach.
Make sure it is at least 3 feet away from other electrical and metal appliances to avoid interference issues.
Your T1960 works by sending radio signals between the handset and base. The strength of the signal depends on where you locate the base. Putting it as high as possible and separated as much as possible from other radio devices and metal objects ensures the best signal.
WARNING
Do not place your T1960 in the bathroom or other humid areas.
IMPORTANT
Do not connect the telephone line until the handset is fully charged. The base must be plugged into the AC power at all times.
Battery charging light The red charging light on the base stays on while the handset is on the base, even when the batteries are fully charged.
Talk/Standby time
Under ideal conditions, fully charged handset batteries should give up to 4 hours talk time or 80 hours standby time on a single charge.
Battery low warning
When the handset battery symbol is empty and flashing (see page 18), you will hear a warning beep. Start recharging your handset right away.
When charging the battery, level bars are animated.
R9
Getting Started
Battery performance
When the batteries are fully charged the battery indicator will display green bars. To keep your batteries in the best condition, leave the handset off the base for a few hours at a time (after the initial 16 hour charge). Please note however, that new NiMH batteries do not reach full capacity until they have been in normal use for several days.
The charge capacity of rechargeable batteries will reduce with time as they wear out, thereby reducing the talk and standby time of the handset. Eventually the batteries may need to be replaced.
Setting Up
1. Plug the power cable into the base.
2. Plug the AC power adapter into an electrical wall outlet
3. Insert the 2 x AAA NiMH batteries supplied into the handset, paying attention to the polarity. Slide the battery compartment cover into place.
13
4. Charge the handset for at least 16 hours by placing it on the base. The red “CHARGE” light is on when the handset is in the charger and stays on even after the batteries are fully charged.
5. After 16 hours, plug the telephone line cord into the wall socket and your T1960 telephone is now ready for use.
R9
Getting Started
14
Handset to Base Registration
The handset is pre-registered to the base as ‘Handset 1’. For information regarding registering additional handsets to the base see page 50.
Range Indicator
The symbol on your handset display indicates when you are in range of the base. If the symbol flashes and you hear a warning beep, you are out of range and will
need to move closer to the base.
Setting the Date and Time
If you have subscribed to the Caller-ID service, the time and date will be set automatically when you receive your first call. You can also set the time manually. (See page 48).
Your Verizon T1960 is now ready for use.
Replacing batteries
Use only rechargeable 750 mAh AAA Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries.
Replacement batteries may be obtained commercially from a retail battery supplier. See page 5 for important battery replacement information.
NOTE: The RBRC seal on the battery used in your Thomson Inc. product indicates that we are participating in a program to collect and recycle the rechargeable battery (or batteries). For more information go to the RBRC web site at www.rbrc.org or call 1-800-8-BATTERY or contact a local recycling center.
Handset range
The T1960 range between the base and handset will vary greatly depending on the location of the base. When there is no clear line of sight between the base and handset, e.g., the base is indoors and the handset is either indoors or outdoors, the range may be reduced.
R9
Getting Started
Ensure the charger is connected to the AC power outlet at all times.
If you have purchased additional handsets:
On each charger:
1. Connect the AC power adapter to the charger.
2. Plug the AC power adapter into an electrical wall outlet.
On each additional handset:
3. Insert the 2 x AAA NiMH batteries supplied into the handset, paying attention to the polarity (See page 13). Slide the battery compartment cover
15
into place.
4. If the batteries have enough charge the handset will power-up with “Not Registered” on the display.
5. Charge the handset for at least 16 hours.
Once fully charged, your additional handset(s) are required to be registered to the base. See page 50.
Your additional handsets are now ready for use.

Normally, the number displayed will be a 10­digit format (3-digit area code + 7-digit phone number). If the Area Codes are programmed (see page 39), the number displayed can be shown as either a 7-digit, 10-digit, or 11-digit number for easier recognition of a Local or Long Distance call.

Call Waiting
The Verizon Call Waiting service provides you with a special alerting tone when a caller is trying to call you while you are already on a call. You can press the ‘FLASH’ button to put the current call on hold and speak with the Call Waiting caller. Pressing the ‘FLASH’ button again will toggle the call between the original caller and the Call Waiting caller.
Caller-ID With Call Waiting
The Caller-ID With Call Waiting (CIDCW) service blends the best of Call Waiting and Caller-ID services by showing you who is calling while you are already on a call. This service can be very useful to allow you to use your telephone without worrying about missing an important call. Because the caller's number and name are displayed, you can decide whether to put your current call on hold and answer the new waiting call, or ignore the new waiting call and continue talking on the current call.
When you have subscribed to CIDCW and a new call is received while you are already on a call, you will hear a special alerting signal and then the caller's information will be displayed.
See the information on the sidebar on this page regarding Call Waiting Deluxe menus.
IMPORTANT
To use the Verizon calling features you will first need to subscribe to the desired features for which there may be a monthly charge from Verizon.
Call Waiting Deluxe
Call Waiting Deluxe provides additional options for Caller-ID with Call Waiting. See page 31 regarding the special menus used for Call Waiting Deluxe. If these menus are turned ‘ON’ then you must use the menu options and not the ‘FLASH’ key for Caller-ID with Call Waiting.
If a Caller Hangs Up
If you have an active call, and a 2 and one of these callers hangs up, you may hear a dialtone if you use the
waiting caller. In this case you are ready to dial a 3-

VOICEMAIL Information
Voicemail is a network service that will take voice messages from callers when you are not home, when you are already on a call and the line is busy, or when you do not wish to answer the telephone. This is similar to an answering machine. Unlike an answering machine though,
the voicemail service will also take messages from callers that call when you are using the telephone line
. This is a very useful feature that an answering machine cannot provide.
Most of the voicemail system prompts are provided audibly to guide you through the various options for set-up of outgoing messages and other options, and for the most often used feature, which is listening to the saved messages.
Voicemail
The T1960 includes the following features to help make using your network Voicemail service easy.
A Voicemail indicator light on both the base and all handsets
One-button access to call the Voicemail system to check your messages
Voicemail Indicator
If you have Voicemail waiting, the T1960 will alert you to the Voicemail by:
1. A blinking light on the base
2. Each handset display will flash the backlighting

Area Codes Information
The T1960 can dial numbers back directly from the Caller-ID entered into the Received Calls list. Most often, Caller-ID is received with 10 digits (3­digit area code + 7-digit phone number) regardless of how many digits need to be dialed to call that number. The most prevalent dialing plans in use are 7-digit (normal 7­digit phone number), 11­digit (1+area-code+7-digits) and 10-digits (area-code+7­digits). When dialing back from the T1960 Received Calls list, the T1960 will try to figure out if 7, 10, or 11 digits should be dialed. This is accomplished by entering area codes as settings.
There is a "Local Area Code" and 5 "Regional Area Code" settings available. The area code settings work for displaying and dialing back numbers only when the Caller-ID received is 10 digits. If the Caller-ID is anything other than 10 digits, the Area Code settings are not used to pre-format the displayed or dialed number.
