interference, including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
The equipment must be installed using an acceptable method of
connection. The customer should be aware that compliance with the
above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some
situations.
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 systems, if present, are connected together. This

telephone 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

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.
When you place the handset in the base, the unit verifies its security code.
After power outage or battery replacement, you should place the handset in
the base for about 20 seconds to reset the code.
INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate
at frequencies that may cause or receive interference
with 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 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 User’s Guide 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.

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 back of the cabinet.

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/prog button to put the current call on hold and answer the incoming
call. Press flash/prog 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.
Reviewing CID Records
As calls are received and stored, the display is updated to let you know how
many calls have been received. To scroll CID records:
1. Make sure the phone is
OFF (not in talk mode).
2. Press the Caller ID/vol (-) button to review the newest CID record.
3. Press the Caller ID/vol (+) button to review the oldest CID record first
Dialing a Caller ID Number
1. Make sure the phone is
OFF (not in TALK mode).
2. Use the Caller ID/vol (- or +) button to display the desired record.
3. Press talk/end/call back. The number dials automatically.
NOTE: Depending on (a) how the incoming caller’s phone
number is formatted when it is received, and (b) whether
or not you previously pre-programmed your local area
code into the set up menu, you may need to adjust the
format of the incoming caller’s stored phone number
before making the call, press the format button to adjust
the number, and try again.
