Random Code™ digital security automatically selects one of over 65,000 codes for the handset and base.

These features enhance your phone’s security and also prevent unauthorized calls as a result of your phone being activated by other equipment.

About the digital security code

This cordless telephone uses a digital security code to prevent unauthorized access to your base unit. This security code prevents other cordless handsets from making calls through your base unit. A random security code will be assigned automatically between your base unit and handset when you charge the battery pack for the first time. If you want to reset the security code, see page 47.

Avoid microwave ovens

Avoid excessive moisture, extremely low temperatures, dust, mechanical vibration, or shock

Avoid personal computers

Avoid other cordless telephones

• You should charge your handset for more than 15-20 hours before using the phone.

• The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet which is not switchable.

• Keep the base and handset away from sources of electrical noise such as motors and fluorescent lighting.

handset retainer out of the slot. Rotate it clockwise 180 degrees.

9 Flip the retainer from front to

back. Slide it back into the slot so that the lip of the retainer is up and is down. The retainer holds the handset in place.

Direct wall plate mounting

If you don't have a standard wall plate, you can mount your phone directly to the wall. Before doing this, consider the following:

• Avoid electrical cables, pipes, or other items behind the mounting location, that could cause a hazard when inserting screws into the wall.

• Try to mount your phone within 10 - 15 feet of a working phone jack to avoid excessive cord lengths.

• Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of the base and handset.

• Use

#10 screws with (minimum length of 1-3/8 inches) anchoring

devices suitable for the wall material where the base unit will be placed.

1 Insert two mounting screws

into the wall, (with their appropriate anchoring device), 3-15/16 inches apart. Allow about 3/16 of an inch between the wall and screwheads for mounting the phone.

• 10 days when the handset is in the standby mode.

Even when the battery pack is not being used, it will gradually discharge over a long period. For optimum performance, be sure to return the handset to the base unit after a telephone call for charging the battery.

When the battery charge becomes low

When the voltage of battery pack in the handset is very low and needs to be charged, the phone is programmed to eliminate functions in order to save power. If the battery charge becomes low,

“

Low Battery” appears on the LCD. If the phone is in use, the

handset beeps. Complete your conversation as quickly as possible and return the handset to the base unit for charging.

Cleaning the charging contacts

To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean the battery contacts on the handset and base unit with a dry cloth about once a month.
