When using your telephone equipment, these basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduced the risk of fire, electrical shock,
and injury to persons:
1. Read and understand all instructions.
2. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.
3. Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning, and use a dry
cloth, without liquid or aerosol cleaners.
4. Do not use this product near water; for example, near a bathtub, washbowl,
kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.
5. Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand or table. The telephone
may fall, causing serious damage to the unit.
6. This product should be operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power
supply to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.
7. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product
where the cord will be damaged by persons walking on it.
8. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this can result in the
risk of fire or electrical shock.
9. Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots, as
they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result
in a risk of fire or electric shock. These slots and openings are provided for
ventilation. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
10. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product. Take it
to qualified service personnel when service or repair work is required.
Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other
risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when the appliance is
subsequently used.
11. Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under the following conditions:
A. If the power supply cord is damaged or frayed.
B. If liquid has been spilled into the product.
C. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
D. If the product does not operate normally when following the operating
instructions. (Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

PRECAUTIONS
instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage,
and will often require extensive repair work by a qualified technician).
E. If the product has been dropped, or the cabinet has been damaged.
F. If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.
12. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
Additional Battery Safety Precautions
Caution! To reduce the risk of fire or injury to persons by the battery, read and
follow these instructions.
1. Use only the appropriate type and size battery pack specified in the owner’s
manual.
2. Do not dispose of the battery pack in a fire. The cell may explode.
3. Do not open or mutilate the battery pack. Release electrolyte is corrosive
and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
4. Exercise care in handling the battery in order not to short the battery with
conducting materials such as rings, bracelets and keys.
5. Charge the battery pack provided with or identified for use with this product
only in accordance with the instructions and limitations.
6. Observe proper polarity orientation between the battery pack and battery
charger.
Unplug all electrical appliances when you know an electrical storm is
approaching. Lighting can pass through your household wiring and damage
any device connected to it. This phone is no exception.
Range
Your new phone is designed to achieve the maximum possible range by
transmitting and receiving according to the highest specifications. We have rated
this phone to operate at a maximum distance with the qualification that the
range depends upon the environment in which the telephone is used. Many
Please do not attempt to unplug any
appliance during an electrical storm.
IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL CONSIDERATIONS
4
factors limit range, and it would be impossible to include all the variables in our
rating. The Maximum Range rating of this phone is meant to be used as a
means of comparison against other range claims.
Telephone Line Problems
If you are having trouble with your telephone service, you must first disconnect
your phone to determine if it is the cause of your problem. If you determine that it
is the cause, you must leave it disconnected until the trouble has been corrected.
Radio Interference
Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing and humming in your
cordless handset, or clicking noises in the base. This interference is caused by
external sources such as TV, refrigerator, vacuum cleaner, fluorescent lighting or
electrical storm. Your unit is NOT DEFECTIVE. If these noises continue and are
too distracting, please check around your home to see what appliances may be
causing the problem. In addition, we recommend that the base not be plugged
into a circuit that also powers a major appliance because of the potential for
interference. Be certain that the antenna on the unit is raised vertically.
Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephones operate at frequencies
that may cause interference to nearby TV’s or VCR’s. To minimise or prevent
such interference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed near
or on top of a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless
telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the
interference.
More Than One Phone
Each telephone device that you connect draws power from the phone line. We refer
to the power drawn as the device’s Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). The REN is
shown at the bottom part of your telephone. If you are using more than one
phone or other device on the line, add up all the RENs. If the total is more than 3,
your phones might not ring.
Under power failure, this telephone may not operate. Please
ensure that a separate phone, not dependent on local power
is available during emergencies.

INTRODUCTION
INSTALLING
▼ Selecting a Location
Before choosing a location for your new phone, here are some important
guidelines you should consider:
● The location should be close to both
a phone jack and a power outlet.
● Keep the base and handset away from
sources of electrical noise such as
motors and fluorescent lighting.
● Be sure there is sufficient space to rotate
the base antenna fully vertical.
● The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop or
mounted on a standard wall plate.
● You should charge the battery in your handset for 15-20 hours
before connecting the phone line.
● 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 a modular phone jack, contact your local telephone
company for information about their installation.
▼ Connecting the Telephone Cords
Consider these safety guidelines before connecting the telephone cord.
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.

or service you are calling to enter a special access code, such as when
performing a banking transaction. To store this number, refer to “Storing
