INTRODUCTiON
This 900 Megahertz Cordless Telephone utilizes state of
the art technology. It operates on the 902 - 928 MHz
frequency band. There are three main advantages to this
technology:
— More channels
— Clear reception
— Interference free
A cordless telephone offers convenience, ease and
mobility during telephone communications. Its use,
however, is dependent upon the availability of AC power.
Any interruption of electrical power at your location would
prevent your placing or receiving calls. Therefore, a
cordless telephone should not be installed as
the only phone in your home.
“Full Power” means that your telephone is designed to operate
at the maximum power allowed by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC).
The range at which you can use the cordless Handset away
from the Base is dependent upon many factors. The
telephone Base is like a radio transmitter in that it transmits
telephone line signals via radio waves to the Handset.
Therefore, the location of the Base is importa.nt in order to
obtain maximum Handset range for the power allowed.
In som.e areas, installing the Base on the second floor will
provide greater range than a ground floor installation.
Reception can be adversely affected by such things as
aluminum siding, appliances (refrigerators, stove, etc.),
insulation foil backing, heating ducts and other metal
construction which acts to shield radio signals.
Atmospheric conditions also play an important role in the
performance of your cordless telephone.
Always keep the Base antenna raised.
Above all, keep within the range of the Base.

Characteristics
Whenever you place the handset on the base unit, the unit
automatically verifies its security code. This code helps to
avoid unauthorized use of your telephone line by another
cordless telephone in your area.
Note: Whenever a power outage occurs, batteries are
replaced, or communication is lost between handset and base,
the handset may have to be returned to the base for 15 - 20
seconds to reset the security code.
