INTRODUCTION
Your GE cordless telephone is designed to give you flexibility in use and
high quality performance. To get the most from your new cordless
telephone, we suggest that you take a few minutes right now to read
through this instruction manual.
CORDLESS PHONE INFORMATION
• Digital Security System
When you place the Handset in the base, the unit verifies it’s security code
which prevents false ringing from other cordless telephones. After a
power outage or battery replacement, you should place the Handset in the
base for about 20 seconds to reset the code.
• IMPORTANT: This Should Not Be The Only Phone in Your Home
Because cordless phones operate on electricity, you should have at least
one phone in your home that is not cordless, in case the power in your
home goes out.
CALLER ID INFORMATION
This device allows you to take advantage of the Caller Identification
Delivery with Call Waiting service that may be available from your local
telephone company. If you do not have this service already installed, you
must contact your local telephone company to arrange to have this service
installed on your line. There is an extra charge to your monthly telephone
bill for this service.

GETTING STARTED
Make sure your package includes the items shown below.
AC power adapter
Telephone line cord
MODULAR JACK REQUIREMENTS
You need an RJ11C (CA11A), type modular jack, which
is the most common type of phone jack and might
look like the one pictured here. If you don’t have a
modular jack, call your local phone company to find
out how to get one installed.

Short telephone
line cord
INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies
that may cause interference to nearby TVs 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 or VCR. If interference continues, moving the cordless
telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the
interference.
