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
• 3-way Conference/CallTransfer
• Call Waiting and Caller ID Compatible
• VIP Melody
• Up to 50 Name and Number Memory Dialing
• Do Not Disturb
• Room Monitor between Handset and Handset
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 (Call Waiting 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

have at least one phone in your home that isn’t cordless, in case the power in
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

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.

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 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.
