Privacy

and base of your cordless telephone are accomplished by means of radio waves which are

broadcast over the open airways. Because of the inherent physical properties of radio waves,
your communications can be received by radio receiving devices other than your own
telephone unit. Consequently, any communications using your cordless telephone may not be

private.

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. This phone is no
exception.

Warning:

Caution:

Please do not attempt to unplug any appliance during an electrical storm.

Changes or modifications to this product not expressly approved by

of this product in any way other than as detailed by this Operating Guide, could void

your authority to operate this product.

or operation

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 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 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 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 fully extended.

I

In the unlikely event that you consistently hear other voices or distracting transmissions on your

phone, you may be receiving radio signals from another cordless telephone or other source of

interference. If you cannot eliminate this type of interference, press the channel key to select a channel
that provides the clearest communication.

Finally, it should be noted that some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause
interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. 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 Cordless Telephone

If you want to use more than one cordless telephone in your home, they must operate on different
channels. Press the channel key to select a channel that provides the clearest communication.

Installation

Selecting a Location

Before choosing a location for your new phone, there are some important guidelines you should
consider:

l The location should be close to both a phone jack and continuous power outlet.

Note:

Make sure that the AC outlet is switched on for continuous power supply

Keep the Base Unit and Handset away from sources of electrical noise such as motors or

fluorescent lighting.

Be sure there is sufficient space to fully extend the Base Unit antenna.

The Base Unit can be placed on a desk or tabletop or wall mounted.

If you decide to mount your phone on the wall, make sure to change the Handset Retainer

so that the tab which holds the Handset faces up. (See page 14 for more information.)
You should charge your new phone for 15-20 hours before completing the installation or

using the Handset.

Telephone Line Outlets

Modular Jack

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 modular
phone jacks, contact your local telephone company for information about their installation.

Connecting

the Telephone

Cord

Consider these safety guidelines before connecting the telephone cord:

CAUTION:

l Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
l Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been

disconnected.

l Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

Applying Power to the Base Unit

Cleaning the Battery Contacts

To maintain a good charge, it is important to clean all charging contacts on the Handset and Base
Unit about once a month. Use a pencil eraser or other contact cleaner. Do not use any liquids or
solvents.

18

Charging the Battery Pack

Initial Battery Charging

The rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium battery pack must be fully charged before using your phone for
the first time. We recommend that the battery pack charge for approximately
interruption, before plugging the phone line into your new phone.

Low Battery Indicator

When the Battery Pack in the Handset is very low and
needs to be charged, the Battery icon flashes.

If the Battery icon begins to flash, the phone is programmed to eliminate its functions to save power.

The table below describes what to do to return your phone to normal operation.

Battery Memory Effect

Rechargeable batteries can develop a “memory” (reduced charge capacity) caused by repeated

charge and discharge cycles. The battery life will seem to be shorter every time you use the unit.

To Avoid Memory Effect

At least once a month, operate the unit until the “Battery Low” indicator appears. Avoid “topping off”
the charge after using the phone for a short time. Also, do not charge the Rechargeable Battery for
extended periods of time.

Auto Disconnect

The Auto Disconnect allows your Answering System to disconnect and reset if the caller hangs up
before leaving a message. This prevents your Answering System from using recording time to

record a hang up/dial tone message.

Setting the Toll Saver Switch

The Ring Time/Toll Saver switch allows you to set the number of rings the caller hears before your
Answering System answers. You can set the switch to answer after 2 rings or after 4 rings. In the

recorded, and it answers after 4 rings if there are no new messages. So if you call long distance to

check your messages, you can hang up after the third ring and not be billed.
