in on the notch and slide the cover
down and off.

2. Line up the battery connector with
the jack inside the handset; the
connector only fits one way.

3. Push the connector in until it
clicks into place; tug gently on the
wires to make sure the battery is
securely connected.

4. Replace the battery cover and slide
it into place.

5. Use an AC adapter to connect the

the display facing forward. If the
display doesn’t light up, reseat the
handset or connect the base to
a different outlet. For 2 or more
handsets, place each handset in a
charger.

Installing a Line Filter or DSL Filter

A telephone line filter or DSL filter prevents services that use the phone line
from causing interference on your phone. To get a line filter, contact your
service provider or look in an electronics store.

Plug the filter into the telephone wall jack and plug the base into the filter.
Make a test call to make sure the noise is gone.

Liquid Damage

CAUTION: If the base is covered in liquid, disconnect the adapter &
phone cord from the wall before touching it.

If the liquid is only on the exterior housing of the base or handset, wipe it off
and use as normal. If you can hear liquid inside the housing:

1. Remove all compartment covers, and disconnect all cables and cords.

2. If liquid is leaking from any vent or hole, turn the phone so that the vent
faces down. If not, place the largest vent face down.

3. Let dry for at least 3 days. Check for liquid inside the phone before replacing
compartment covers & reconnecting cords.

Resetting Stations

Unplug the base to reset it. Plug it back in after at least a minute.

If you have trouble with a handset or if you want to replace one, reset it.

1. Press & hold

e REN is used to determine the
number of devices that may be con­nected to a phone line. Excessive RENs
on a phone line may result in devices
not ringing in response to an incoming
call. In most but not all areas, the sum
of RENs should not exceed ve (5.0). To
be certain of the number of devices that
may be connected to a line, as determined
by the total RENs, contact the telephone
provider. e REN for this product is
part of the product identier that has the
format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. e digits
represented by ## are the REN without a
decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3).

If this equipment causes harm to the tele­phone network, the telephone company
will notify you in advance that temporary
discontinuance of service may be
required. But if advance notice isn't prac­tical, the telephone company will notify
the customer as soon as possible. Also,
you will be advised of your right to le a
complaint with the FCC if you believe it
is necessary. e telephone company may
make changes in its facilities, equipment,
operations or procedures that could
aect the operation of the equipment.
If this happens the telephone company
will provide advance notice in order for
you to make necessary modications to
maintain uninterrupted service.

Please follow instructions for repairing,
if any (e.g. battery replacement section);
otherwise do not substitute or repair any
parts of the device except as specied in
this manual. Connection to party line
service is subject to state taris. Contact
the state public utility commission, public
service commission or corporation com­mission for information. is equipment
is hearing aid compatible.

If you experience trouble with this equip­ment, contact the manufacturer (see the
cover of this manual for contact informa­tion) or an authorized agent. If the equip­ment is causing harm to the telephone
network, the telephone company may

request that you disconnect the equip­ment until the problem is resolved.

If your home has wired alarm equipment
connected to a phone line, be sure that
installing the system does not disable your
alarm equipment. If you have questions
about what will disable alarm equipment,
contact your telephone company or a
qualied installer.

Any changes or modications to this
product not expressly approved by the
manufacturer or other party responsible
for compliance could void your authority
to operate this product.
