INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! You have purchased
one of the most sophisticated cordless
telephones on the market! The
Ameritech AM 1930 has been de-
signed to offer a new standard in
cordless telephone technology.
Unlike most other cordless phones, the
Ameritech AM 1930 digitizes your
voice using advanced ADPCM digital
voice coding to provide noise- and
distortion-free performance. In most
conditions, you will not be able to tell
you are using a cordless phone. Gone
are the annoyances of static, interfer-
ence and having to listen to other
people’s conversations on your cord-
less phone.
The Ameritech AM 1930 scrambles
your voice before it transmits it. This
allows you the security of knowing that
no one can tune in and eavesdrop on
your conversations.
The Ameritech AM 1930 decodes and
displays name and/or number Caller ID
information where available and when
subscribed to. The alpha-numeric
display can show both the name and
number of the calling party. Up to 24
name characters or 11 phone number
digits can be displayed.
With the Ameritech AM 1930, the user
can easily answer a call by pressing
any key other than the OFF, MUTE or
VOLUMEKeys.Inaddition,thehandset
keypad and display illuminate while the
handset rings to signal an incoming
call. This is very useful in a dark
environment.
TheAmeritech AM 1930 alsoprovides
a two-way Intercom/Handset locator
function.
The Ameritech AM 1930 uses special
memory in both the base and handset
which is not susceptible to power
failures. This provides permanent
storage of all memory dial numbers,
Caller ID information, and the base and
handset security codes.
When an optional battery pack is
installedinthebaseunit,theAmeritech
AM 1930 uses this battery pack to
provide operational backup in case of
power failure. In this way you have
access to Handset functions during a
total power outage. Calls can still be
placed and received on the Handset
without interruption. Up to 5 hours
backup will be possible with a fully
charged battery pack in the base unit.
The Ameritech AM 1930 informs you
when another extension is currently
in use on the same phone line. The
phone will also alert you when you are
Out of Range, even when you're not
using the phone!
Therearetwodedicated Billed Services
keys on the handset for your
convenience. When pressed, these
keys will automatically dial the
appropriatekeysforREPEATDIALING,
or 69 AUTO CALLBACK. There may
bean access chargefor these services.

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
rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment gener-
ates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful inter-
ference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particu-
lar 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 the receiver is con-
nected.
- Consult the dealer or an experi-
enced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Regulations
AM 1930 9/5/99, 12:13 AM4

5
FCC Regulations
FCC Part 68
The FCC requires that you connect
your cordless telephone to the nation-
wide telephone network through a
modulartelephone jack (USOC RJ11C,
RJ11W or RJ14).
Your telephone company may discon-
tinue 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 com-
pany may make changes in its facili-
ties, equipment, operation, or proce-
dures 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 service-
able 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
manufacturer's 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.
Your Ameritech AM 1930 is designed
to operate at the maximum power
allowed by the FCC. 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.

REPLACING THE BATTERY PACK
Charging The Handset Battery Pack
The handset of yourAmeritech AM
1930 cordless telephone is powered by
a rechargeable battery pack. It charges
automatically whenever the handset is
in the base. You should charge the
battery pack for 16 hours when you first
receive your phone. You’ll know the
battery pack needs charging when:
• The phone emits a warning tone
when you press the PHONE key.
• The low battery message is
displayed:
Alternatively, if you have purchased a
spare battery pack and it has been
charging in the base unit, simply
exchange the drained handset battery
pack with the fully charged replace-
ment battery pack from the base
charger. Place the drained handset
battery pack into the base charger to
recharge.
The base spare battery charger does
NOT charge a battery pack as quickly
as the handset battery charger. A full
charge requires 24 hours when using
the spare battery charger.
It's Impossible To Overcharge The
Battery Pack
The battery pack can be recharged
many times, but if you get a low battery
message even after 16 hours of
charging in the base cradle (or 24
hoursinthebasesparebatterycharger),
the battery pack(s) should be replaced.
To purchase replacement battery
packs, call Ameritech at 1-800-456-
6858.
A Word About Rechargeable Batteries
Your NiCad battery pack recharges
whenever the Handset is returned to
the Base Unit cradle. You may return
the Handset to its cradle whenever
you're not using the phone.
• The handset seems completely
dead, the display is clear and the
handset does not beep when you
press the keys.
To Charge The Battery Pack
To charge the battery pack, place the
handset in the base unit. The CHARGE
indicator will light to show the handset
is seated properly and the battery pack
is charging. It is recommended that the
battery pack be charged for at least 16
hours initially and 8 hours for mainte-
nance charging. You can use your
telephone before that with diminished
capacity, but it is best to charge the
battery pack fully. It will take several
recharge cycles to maximize the charge
capacity of your battery pack. The
maximum battery life between charges
is 7 hours of continuous talk time or 7
days of stand- by.

in the Base Unit, the Ameritech AM
1930 uses this battery pack to provide
operational backup in case of a power
failure. If you have a fully charged
battery pack in the Spare Battery pack
charger and there is a power outage,
you will still be able to place and
receive calls on the Handset for up to
five hours.
Note:
During Power Backup mode the Base
Unit telephone functions are not oper-
able. In addition, Caller ID information
may not be reliable.
Replacing a Drained Handset
Battery
The Spare Battery pack can also be
used to replace a drained Handset
battery pack to ensure uninterrupted
use. Be sure to put the drained battery
pack in the Spare Battery charger for
recharging.
Please note that the Spare Battery
compartment charges at a slower rate
than a battery pack charging in the
Handset. It takes 24 hours to fully
charge a battery pack in the Spare
Battery charger.
