Automatic Digital Code Security

Many cordless telephones operate similarly and on the same frequency.
Without digital code security, another Handset could make calls using your
Base Unit and telephone line.Therefore, to avoid any unauthorized calls
through your Base Unit, a Digital Code feature was added to your XC 310.
This Digital Code is shared only between the Handset and Base Unit.The

Code is set automaticallywhen you first use the phone.To reset the Digital
Code, removethe Handset from the Base Unit and set it down again. Then
press the PAGE/FINDbutton. The Digital Code is reset randomly to one of

more than 65,000 codes.

Read This Before Installation

We have designed your telephone to conform to Australia or New Zealand
Radio Frequency regulations, and you can connect it to most telephone
lines. However, each device that you connect draws power from the phone
line.We refer to the power drawn as the devices ringer equivalence number
or REN. The REN is shown on the bottom of your telephone (New Zealand
Modelsonly). If you are using more than one phone or other device on the
line, add up allthe REN's. If the total is more than five, your phones might
not ring. In rural areas, a total REN of three might impair ringing operation.

Note: You must not connect your phone to any of the following;

* Coin operated systems
* Party-line systems

* Most electronic key phone systems

Your phone operates on standard radio frequencies. It is possible for other
radio units operating nearby on similar frequencies to unintentionally
interceptyour conversation or cause interference. Possible lack of privacy

can occur with any cordless telephone.
IMPORTANT NOTICE

You must charge the new battery for at least 12 hours before you use
the phone.

Installing Your XC 310

. Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

. Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unlessthe jack is

specifically designed for wet locations.

. Nevertouch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the

sure the screws are securely fastened, and that the wall material is
capable of supporting the weight of the Base Unit; otherwise, damage.to

the Base Unit could result.

3. Plug one end of the Telephone Line Cord (supplied) intothe "TELLINE"
jack on the Base Unit. Laythe cord inside the molding on the bottom of

Important Electrical Considerations

Unplug all electrical appliances when you know an electrical storm is
approaching. Lightning can pass through your household wiring and damage

any device connected to it. The XC 310 is no exception.

NOTE: Please do not attempt to unplug any appliance during an

Range

The XC 310 is designed to achieve the maximum possible range by
transmitting and receiving according to the highest specifications. We have
ratedthis phone to operate at a maximum distance with the qualification that
the range depends upon the environment in which the telephone is used.
Manyfactors limit range, and itwould be impossible to include all the
variables in our rating. The Maximum Range rating of the XC 310 is meant to

be usedas a means of comparison against other range claims.

electrical storm.

Radio Interference

Radio interference may occasionally cause buzzing and humming in your

cordless Handset, or clicking noises inthe Base Unit.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
hometo see what appliances may be causing the problem. Inaddition, we
recommendthat the base not be plugged into a circuit that also powers a
major appliance because of the potential for interference. Becertain that the
antenna on the unit is fully extended when needed.

In the unlikely event that you consistently hear other voices or distracting
transmissions on your XC 310, you may be receiving radio signals from
anothercordless telephone or other source of interference. Ifyou cannot
eliminate this type of interference, you need to change the channel. Press

CHANNELto select the best channel with no interference.

More Than One Cordless Telephone

Ifyou wish to use more than one cordless telephone in your house,they
must operate on different channels. Press CHANNELto select one that

providesthe clearest communications.

Maintenance

Care

Your XC 310 Cordless Telephone is an example of superior design and
craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your phone
so that you can enjoy itfor years.

Keepthe phone dry. If it does get wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might
contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

Use and store the phone only in normal temperature environments.
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices and distort
or melt plastic parts.

Handle the phone gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit
boards and can cause the phone to work improperly.

Keepthe phone away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear
of parts.

Clean battery contacts once a month. Please refer to page 14for further
information.

Wipe the phone with a dampened cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.

Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean

your phone.

Modifying or tampering with the phone's internal components can cause a
malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your authorization to

operate it. If your phone is not performing as it should, take it to your local

retail store. Our personnel can assist you and arrange for service if needed.
Ifthe trouble is harming the phone lines, the phone company might ask you

to disconnect your phone until you have resolved the problem.
