INTERFERENCE INFORMATION
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)This device may not
cause harmful interference; and (2)This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules.These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular 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 to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for radio or television that is “receiving” the interference).
•Reorient or relocate and increase the separation between the telecommunications equipment and receiving antenna.
•Connect the telecommunications equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiving antenna is
connected.
If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for
additional suggestions. Also, the Federal Communications Commission has prepared a helpful booklet,“HowTo Identify and
Resolve Radio/TV Interference Problems.”This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office,Washington, D.C.

Congratulations on purchasing the GE Dual Cordless HandsetTelephone
System.This system operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency range, and is unique
to conventional cordless telephones.When the base is connected to electrical
power and a telephone line, you can place a fully-featured cordless handset
anywhere electrical power is available.
Features:

•Handset to handset Intercom
•2-way and 3-way Conference/CallTransfer
•CallWaiting and Caller ID Compatible
•Tone/Pulse Dialing
•Up to 50 Name and Number Memory Dialing
This telephone has been designed to be simple to use, however, you can
reach its full potential more quickly by taking a few minutes to read this
Instruction Book.This telephone is a multifunction product for use with Call
Waiting and Caller ID services available from your local telephone company.

6
Your Caller ID Call Waiting phone allows you to:
•View the name and telephone number of a caller (CallWaiting Caller ID)
while you are on the phone.
•Identify callers before you answer the phone.
•View the time and date of each incoming call.
•Record up to 40 Caller ID messages sequentially.
•Know who called while you are on the other line or when you were away.
•Screen unwanted calls, eliminate harassment from annoying calls, or to

your home goes out.
IMPORTANT: In order to use all of the features of this telephone, you must
subscribe to two separate services available from your local telephone
company: the standard Name/Number Caller ID Service to know who is

INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION NOTE: Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that
may cause interference to nearby 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 2.4 GHz frequency for
communication, and, if not properly set, these devices may interfere with each
other and/or your new telephone. Typical devices that may use the 2.4 GHz
frequency for communication include wireless audio/video senders, wireless
computer networks, multi-handset cordless telephone systems, and some long-
range cordless telephone systems.
•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.
•Temporarily disconnect any equipment connected to the phone such as
faxes, other phones, or modems.
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
•Install telephone near both a telephone (modular) jack and an electrical
power outlet.
•Avoid sources of noise, such as a window by a busy street, and electrical
noise, such motors, microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.
•Avoid heat sources, such as heating air ducts, heating appliances,
radiators, and direct sunlight.
•Avoid areas of excessive moisture or extremely low temperature.
•Avoid dusty locations.
•Avoid other cordless telephones or personal computers.
