jack, which might look like the one pictured here, installed in
your home. If you don’t have a modular jack, call your local
phone company to find out how to get one installed.
Installation
Digital Security System
Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to protect against false ringing,
unauthorized access, and charges to your phone line.
INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at
frequencies that may cause or receive interference with nearby
TVs, microwave ovens, and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such
interference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be
placed near or on top of a TV, microwave ovens, or VCR. If such
interference continues, move the cordless telephone farther away
from these appliances.
Certain other communications devices may also use the 5.8 GHz / 900
MHz frequency for communication, and, if not properly set, these
devices may interfere with each other and/or your new telephone.
If you are concerned with interference, please refer to the owner’s
manual for these devices on how to properly set channels to avoid
interference. Typical devices that may use the 5.8 GHz frequency
for communication include wireless audio/video senders, wireless
computer networks, multi-handset cordless telephone systems, and
some long-range cordless telephone systems.
Important Installation Guidelines
• Avoid sources of noise and heat, such as motors, fluorescent lighting, microwave
ovens, heating appliances and direct sunlight.
• Avoid areas of excessive dust, moisture and low temperature.
• Avoid other cordless telephones or personal computers.
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically
designed for wet locations.
• Never touch non-insulated telephone wires or terminals, unless the telephone line
has been disconnected at the network interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

Temporary Tone
This feature is useful only if you have pulse (rotary) service. Temporary Tone Dialing
enables pulse (rotary) service phone users to access touch tone services offered by
banks, credit card companies, etc. For example, when you call your bank you may need
to enter your bank account number. Temporarily switching to touch tone mode allows
you to send your number.
1. Dial the telephone number and wait for the line to connect.
2. When your call is answered, press the
*tone/exit button on the handset to
temporarily change from pulse dialing to tone dialing.
3. Follow the automated instructions to get the information you need.
4. Hang up the handset and the phone automatically returns to pulse (rotary)
dialing mode.
Call Transfer (applicable only with additional
handsets)
During an external call, you may transfer the external call to another handset.
1. Press the
format/trans button on the originating handset. TRANSFERRING shows in
the display. All registered handsets will be paged.
2. Press the
format/trans button or TALK/CALL BACK on receiving handset to answer
call.
NOTE: To cancel the call transfer, you may press *tone/exit button
or the format/trans button on the originating handset.
NOTE: If there is no answer within 2 minutes after transferring
the call, then the handsets will be rung back (callback). If no
handset answers within 30 seconds, then the external call will be
automatically dropped.
Caller ID (CID)
IMPORTANT: In order to use this unit’s Caller ID features, you must
subscribe to either the standard Name/Number Caller ID Service or
Call Waiting Caller ID Service. To know who is calling while you are
on the phone, you must subscribe to Call Waiting Caller ID Service.
This unit receives and displays information transmitted by your local phone company.
This information can include the phone number, date, and time; or the name, phone
number, date, and time.
Call Waiting Caller ID
Provided you subscribe to Call Waiting Caller ID service from your phone company; if
you receive an incoming call and you are already on the phone, a beep indicates the
presence of a Call Waiting call on the line. Only the handset that is in use at the time of
the call will display and store the Call Waiting Caller ID information.
• When you hear the call waiting beep in the handset receiver, press the
flash/
call waiting button to put the current call on hold and answer the incoming call.
Press the
flash/call waiting button again to return to the original call.
Receiving CID Records
When you receive a call, the Caller ID information is transmitted between the first and
second ring. The Caller ID information appears on the display while the phone rings,
giving you a chance to monitor the information and decide whether or not to answer
the call.
Storing CID Records (In CID Memory)
If you are not at home or cannot answer, your telephone’s Caller ID memory stores the
data for the 40 most recent calls you received so you can see who called while you
were unavailable. When the 41st call is received, the oldest Caller ID record (1st call) is
automatically deleted.
You may review the stored information at any time. Calls received since your last review
show as
NEW in the display. Calls that have not been previously reviewed but were
received from the same number more than once show as
REPT in the display.
Interference Information
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy which may interfere
with residential radio and television reception if not properly installed and used in
accordance with instructions contained in this manual. Reasonable protection against
such interference is ensured, although there is no guarantee this will not occur in a
given installation. If interference is suspected and verified by switching this equipment
on and off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures: Reorient the radio/television receiver’s antenna, relocate the
equipment with respect to the receiver, plug the equipment and receiver into separate
circuit outlets. The user may also wish to consult a qualified radio/television technician
for additional suggestions. This equipment has been fully tested and complies with all
limits for Class B computing devices pursuant to part 15 FCC Rules and Regulations.
Telephone Network Information
Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the telephone
network, the telephone company, where practicable, may notify you that temporary
discontinuance of service may be required. Where prior notice is not practicable and
the circumstances warrant such action, the telephone company may temporarily
discontinue service immediately.
The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities,
equipment, operations or procedures where such action is required in the operation
of its business. If these changes are expected to affect the use or performance of your
telephone equipment, the telephone company will likely give you adequate notice to
allow you to maintain uninterrupted service.
Notice must be given to the telephone company upon termination of your telephone
from your line.
REN Number
On the bottom of this equipment is a label indicating, among other information, the
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for the equipment.
The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you may connect to your
telephone line and still have all of these devices ring when your telephone number is
called. In most (but not all) areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one
line should not exceed 5. To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to
your line as determined by the REN, you should contact your local telephone company.
REN Number is located on the cabinet bottom.
