About Announcements
• You can record two different announcements one for normal answering and
one for when you’ve set the system to play an announcement only.
• Use normal answering when you want the system to record callers’ messages. Use
announce only when you want to give information to 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 am unable to
answer your call right now. Please leave your name, number and a message after the
tone.” The announce only pre-recorded announcement says: “Hello, I am unable to
answer your call right now. Please call again. Thank you.”
• By setting announce Only to ON or OFF, you decide which announcement your
callers will hear when the system answers a call (the system comes set for normal
answering, with announce Only turned OFF). See Set, located in the Feature
Summary(page 26) chart later in this section, to change your announcement selection.

jack and connect a different phone. If there is no dial tone on that phone either,
the problem is in your wiring or local service. Contact your local telephone
company.

unit
• Household appliances plugged into the same circuit as the base unit can
sometimes cause interference. Try to move the appliance or the base unit
to another outlet.

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 Part 15
Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
The equipment has been tested and found to comply with part 15 of the FCC

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try and correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet or on a circuit different from that to which

1. Product identifier and REN information
The label on the back or bottom of this equipment contains, among other things,
an identifier indicating product approval and the Ringer Equivalence Number
(REN). This information must be provided to your local telephone company upon
request. For equipment approved prior to July 23, 2001, the product identifier is
preceded by the phrase “FCC Reg No.” and the REN is listed separately. For
equipment approved after that date, the product identifier is preceded by “US”and
a colon (:), and the REN is encoded in the product identifier without a decimal
point as the sixth and seventh characters following the colon. For example, the
product identifier US:AAAEQ03T123XYZ would indicate an REN of 0.3.
The REN is used to determine how many devices you may connect to your
telephone line and still have them ring when you are called. In most, but not all
areas, the sum of all RENs should be five (5.0) or less. For more information,
please contact your local telephone company.
2. Connection and use with the nationwide telephone network
The plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and the
telephone network must comply with the applicable Part 68 rules and technical
requirements adopted by ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug
is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible
modular jack that is also compliant. An RJ11 jack should normally be used for
connecting to a single line and an RJ14 jack for two lines. See Installation
Instructions in the user’s manual. This equipment may not be used with Coin
Telephone Lines or with Party Lines. If you have specially wired alarm dialing
equipment connected to your telephone line, ensure the connection of this equipment does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will

5. Hearing aid compatibility
If this product is equipped with a corded or cordless handset, it is hearing aid
compatible.
6. Programming/testing of emergency numbers
If this product has memory dialing locations, you may choose to store police, fire
department and emergency medical service telephone numbers in these locations. If you do, please keep three things in mind:
a We recommend that you also write the telephone number on the directory
card, so that you can still dial the emergency number manually if the memory
dialing feature doesn’t work.
b This feature is provided only as a convenience, and the manufacturer as-
sumes no responsibility for customer reliance upon the memory feature.
c Testing the emergency telephone numbers you have stored is not recom-
mended. However, if you do make a call to an emergency number:
• You must remain on the line and briefly explain the reason for the call
before hanging up.
• Programming/testing of emergency numbers should be performed during off-peak hours, such as in the early morning or late evening, when
the emergency services tend to be less busy.

FCC, ACTA and IC Regulations
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian
maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made
by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system,
if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important
in rural areas.
Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but
should contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority, or electrician, as
appropriate.
Your telephone is designed to operate at the maximum power allowed by the
FCC and IC. This means your Handset and Base Unit can communicate only
over a certain distance - which will depend on the location of the Base Unit and
Handset, weather, and the construction and layout of your home or office.
