The REN is useful in determining the number of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still
have all of these devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most (but not all) areas the sum of
the RENs of all devices connected to one line should not exceed 5. To be certain of the number of devices you
may connect to your line as determined by the REN you should contact your local telephone company.
Notes
• This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company.
• Party lines are subject to state tariffs and therefore you may not be able to use your own telephone
equipment if you are on a party line. Check with your local telephone company.

your line.
2Rights of the Telephone Company
Should your equipment cause trouble on your line which may harm the telephone network the telephone
company shall where practicable notify you that temporary discontinuance of service may be required.
Where prior notice is not practicable and the circumstances warrant such action the telephone company
may temporarily discontinue service immediately. In case of such temporary discontinuance the telephone
company must: (1) promptly notify you of such temporary discontinuance; (2) afford you the opportunity to
correct the situation; and (3) inform you of your right to bring a complaint to the Commission pursuant to
procedures set forth in Subpart E of Part 68 FCC Rules and Regulations.
The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities equipment operations or
procedures where such action is required in the operation of its business and not inconsistent with FCC
Rules and Regulations. If these changes are expected to affect the use or performance of your telephone
equipment the telephone company must give you adequate notice in writing to allow you to maintain
uninterrupted service.

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).

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

INTRODUCTION
Your cordless telephone/answering machine with Caller ID is designed to
give you flexibility in use and high quality performance. To get the most
from your new cordless telephone/answering machine we suggest that

Your Caller ID phone stores and displays specific information provided by
your local telephone company to subscribers of Caller ID or similar caller
identification services.
CALLER ID
This feature allows you to see the number or name and number of the
person calling before you answer the phone.
CALL WAITING
This feature allows you to answer incoming calls while you are talking on
the phone.
CALL WAITING CALLER ID
Also known as Type II Caller ID this feature allows you to see the name
and number of a call that beeps in while you are talking on the phone with
someone else.

CAUTION: When using telephone equipment, there are basic safety
instructions that should always be followed. Refer to the IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS provided with this product and save them for
future reference.
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. If you are concerned
with interference, please refer to the owner’s manual for these devices on how
to properly set channels to avoid interference. 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.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
PARTS CHECKLIST
Make sure your package includes the items shown here.
MODULAR JACK REQUIREMENTS
You need an RJ11 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.
DIGITAL SECURITY SYSTEM
Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to protect against false
ringing unauthorized access and charges to your phone line.
When you place the handset in the base the unit verifies its security code.
After a power outage or battery replacement you should place the
handset in the base for about 20 seconds to reset the code.
IMPORTANT: Because cordless phones operate on electricity, you should
have at least one phone in your home that isn’t cordless, in case the power in
your home goes out.
