MODULAR JACK
You need an RJ11 type modular phone jack. If you do not have a modular jack, call your
local phone company to nd out how to get one installed.
CHECKING PACKAGE CONTENTS
Make sure your package includes the items shown here.
GETTING STARTED
Installation tips
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 oven, or
VCR. If such interference continues, move the cordless telephone farther away from these
appliances.
Certain other communications devices may also use the 5.8 GHz frequency for
communication and if not set properly 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 interfer
ence. Typical devices that may use the 5.8 GHz frequency for communication include wire
less audio/video senders, wireless computer networks, multi-handset cordless telephone
systems, and some long-range cordless telephone systems.

TONE/PULSE SETTING
1. If you have Pulse (rotary) service, you will need to set the dial mode to pulse. If you
have Touch-Tone service, do nothing as your phone has been set to Tone prior to
shipment. If you do not know which type of service you have, contact your local
telephone company.
2. To change to Pulse or Tone service, See Tone/pulse setting, page 8.
REGISTER HANDSETS TO THE MAIN BASE BEFORE USE
Your cordless phone uses a digital security system to provide protection against false ring-
ing, unauthorized access and charges to your phone line. When you place the handset in
the main base, the handset will automatically register to the base.
Note: If the handset’s battery becomes very low, the handset must be recharged for
12 hours and re-registered to the main base unit.
