Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and/or injury, always follow these basic safety
precautions when using your cordless telephone equipment.
1. Read and understand all instructions.
2. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the telephone.
3. Do not use this telephone near a bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet
basement, near a swimming pool, or anywhere else where there is water.
4. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be
a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
5. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
6. Use only the power cord and BATTERY PACK indicated in the Owner’s Manual. Do not dispose
of the BATTERY PACK in a fire. The BATTERY PACK may explode. Check with local codes for
possible special disposal instructions.
7. Operate this telephone using the electrical voltage as stated on the BASE UNIT or in the
Owner’s Manual. If you are not sure of the voltage in your home, consult your dealer or local
power company.
8. Unplug this telephone from the wall outlet before cleaning or replacing the BATTERY PACK. Do
not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners on the telephone. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
9. Place this telephone on a stable surface. Serious damage and/or injury may result if the
telephone falls.
10. Do not cover the slots and openings on this telephone. This telephone should never be placed
near or over a radiator or heat register. This telephone should not be placed in a built-in
installation unless proper ventilation is provided.
11. Do not place anything on the power cord. Install the telephone where no one will step or trip on
the cord.
12. Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords as this can increase the risk of fire or electric
shock.
13. Never push any objects through the slots in the telephone. They could touch dangerous voltage
points or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of
any kind on the telephone.
14. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not take this telephone apart. If service or repair work is
required on this telephone, take it to a qualified service representative. Opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause
electric shock when the appliance is subsequently used.
15. Unplug this telephone from the wall outlet and consult a qualified service representative in any
of the following situations.
A. When the power supply cord is frayed or damaged.
B. If liquid has been spilled into the telephone.
C. If the telephone has been exposed to rain or water.
D. If the telephone does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust
only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. Improper adjustment may
require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the telephone to normal
operation.
4
5860 man.qxd 11/7/2003 5:48 PM Page 13

Safety Instructions Getting Star
E. If the telephone has been dropped or the case has been damaged.
F. If the telephone exhibits a distinct change in performance.
16. Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
17. Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet
locations.
18. Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
19. Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Battery Safety
CAUTION:
Danger of explosion if BATTERY PACK is incorrectly replaced. Replace
only with the same or equivalent type. To reduce the risk of fire or
personal injury, read and follow these instructions:
1. Use only the following type and size of BATTERY PACK:
Cordless Telephone BATTERY PACK
3.6V, 800mAh
U.S. Electronics Inc.
Ni-Cd BATTERY PACK: model B658
(See page 39 for ordering information.)
2. Do not dispose of the BATTERY PACK in a fire. It may explode. Check with local codes for
possible special disposal instructions.
3. Do not open or mutilate the BATTERY PACK. Released electrolyte from a BATTERY PACK
is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. Electrolyte may be toxic if
swallowed.
4. Exercise care in handling the BATTERY PACK to prevent shorting the BATTERY PACK with
conductive materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The BATTERY PACK or conductor
may overheat and cause burns.
5. Charge the BATTERY PACK provided with (or identified for use with) this telephone only in
accordance with the instructions and limitations specified in this manual.
6. Observe proper polarity orientation between the BATTERY PACK and BATTERY
CHARGER.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
ATTENTION:
The telephone that you have purchased contains a rechargeable BATTERY PACK. The
BATTERY PACK is recyclable. At the end of its useful life, under various state and local laws, it
may be illegal to dispose of this BATTERY PACK into the municipal waste stream. Check with
your local solid waste officials for details in your area for recycling options or proper disposal.

Desk Mounting
One of the special features of your telephone is the unique design of the MOUNTING
BRACKET which can hold your phone at an angle of 30° when desk mounting. There are two
positions to choose from:
1. Normal Position (MOUNTING BRACKET not required):
For normal position, as shown in Figure 1, place the
BASE UNIT on any desired but suitable location.
Wall Mounting
You may choose to put the BASE UNIT of your cordless
telephone on a wall.
1. With the back of the BASE UNIT facing up, connect
the SHORT TELEPHONE LINE CORD to the
TELEPHONE LINE CONNECTION JACK.
2. Insert the free end of the SHORT TELEPHONE
LINE CORD through the hole of the MOUNTING
BRACKET.
3. Insert the hooks of the MOUNTING BRACKET into
the matching slots on the back of the BASE UNIT
(following the position as shown) then slide the
MOUNTING BRACKET until it locks into place.
4. Plug the free end of the SHORT TELEPHONE
LINE CORD into the MODULAR WALL JACK.
5. Align the upper keyhole of the MOUNTING
BRACKET with the upper stud of the wall plate, so
that the opening end of the MOUNTING BRACKET
matches the lower stud, then pull the BASE UNIT
down until it is securely seated.
6. Pull out the HANDSET RETAINER TAB on the
BASE UNIT, then place the HANDSET in the
BASE UNIT CHARGE CRADLE.

Cordless Telephone Operation
Preparing for Use
Before you can use your cordless telephone, you must charge the HANDSET for 12 hours.
Failure to do so will require recharging of the BATTERY PACK more often.
1. Place the HANDSET on the BASE UNIT for 12 hours.
2. After 12 hours, remove the HANDSET from the BASE UNIT.
Before you can use your cordless telephone, you must charge the HANDSET for 12
hours. Failure to do so will require more frequent charging of the BATTERY PACK. See
page 39 for more information on the BATTERY PACK.
NOTE:
Depending on the frequency of use, once the HANDSET is fully charged, it remains
functional for approximately 7 hours of continuous use and approximately 10 days when the
HANDSET is off the BASE UNIT in STANDBY mode.
1. When the phone rings, the LCD Screen of all of the
HANDSETS registered to the system will display
“Ring.” If you have Caller ID, the LCD Screen will
display the Caller ID information after the first ring.

Timer starts to count. Start your conversation.
3. To end your conversation, either press the button
or place the HANDSET on the BASE UNIT. The
duration of the call will be displayed on the LCD
Screen for about 3 seconds and then returns the LCD
Screen to the STANDBY mode.
Receiving Calls
When a call is received, all of the HANDSETS registered to the system will ring with the RINGER
LEVEL and MELODY selected by the user. The first HANDSET to respond will get the call.
NOTE:
If you are too far away from the BASE UNIT, the HANDSET emits “beep” sounds to warn you
that the background noise level is too high for proper communication between the HANDSET
and the BASE UNIT. When you hear this sound, you should move closer to the BASE UNIT to
reduce the noise level. Otherwise, the call will automatically cut off.
