callers without accepting messages.
• If you choose not to record an announcement, the system answers with
a pre-recorded announcement.
• The normal answering pre-recorded announcement says: “Hello. I’m unable to answer y our call right now. Please leav e your name, number and
a message after the tone. ” The Announce Only pre-recorded
announcement says: “Hello, I’m unable to answer your call right now.
Please call again. Thank you.”

MAINTENANCE
Taking Care Of Your Telephone
Your cordless telephone contains sophisticated electronic parts, so it must
be treated with care.
Avoid rough treatment
Place the Handset down gently. Save the original packing materials to
protect your telephone if you ever need to ship it.
Avoid water
Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the Handset
outdoors in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install your Base
Unit near a sink, bathtub or shower.
Electrical storms
Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic
equipment.
For your own safety, use caution when using electric appliances during storms.
Cleaning your telephone
Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster
for many years. Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water
or a mild soap. Do not use excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.
Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used
when you are wet or standing in water. If your Base Unit should fall
into water, DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER
CORD AND TELEPHONE LINE CORDS FROM THE WALL. Then pull
the unit out by the unplugged cords.

FCC REGULATIONS
FCC Part 68
The FCC requires that you connect your cordless telephone to the
nationwide telephone network through a modular telephone jack (USOC
RJ11C, RJ11W or RJ14).
Your telephone company may discontinue your service if your equipment
causes harm to the telephone network. They will notify you in advance
of disconnection, if possible. During notification, you will be informed of
your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
Occasionally, your telephone company may make changes in its facilities,
equipment, operation, or procedures that could affect the operation of your
equipment. If so, you will be given advance notice of the change to give
you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service.
The Base Unit contains no user serviceable parts. The Handset contains
a user replaceable battery pack.
If it is determined that your telephone equipment is malfunctioning, the
FCC requires that it not be used and that it be unplugged from the modular
jack until the problem has been corrected. Repairs to this telephone
equipment can only be made by the manufacturer or its authorized agents
or by others who may be authorized by the FCC. For repair procedures,
follow the instructions outlined under the Limited Warranty.
This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the phone
company or Party Lines.
The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you may connect to
your telephone line and still enable the devices to ring when you receive a call.
The general rule is that the REN value should not exceed 5.0A total; however,
contact your local telephone company for the specific number in your area.
